"Daredevil: Born Again" mentions real Latvia, not Latveria

forbes.com

Daredevil: Born Again has made some waves by mentioning Latvia, leading to excitement among fans of Doctor Doom. In the show, character Matt Murdoch meets a Latvian lawyer, and mayor Wilson Fisk attends a Latvian Heritage Day celebration. However, viewers should note that Latvia is not the same as the fictional land of Latveria, which is Doctor Doom's home. While fans hoped for a hint about Latveria, the mention of Latvia was just about the real country located in Eastern Europe. This is not the first time Latvia has appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), as it was featured in an episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier. As of now, it seems that Latveria does not exist in the MCU’s main timeline, known as Earth-616. There is a future movie, Avengers: Doomsday, which may introduce Doctor Doom, but it is expected to take place in a separate universe. The MCU often references real countries like Latvia, while fictional ones are more common, such as Sokovia and Wakanda. Fans are curious if we will see more of Latvia in future MCU projects. Despite some confusion, Latvian citizens can take pride in their representation in the superhero universe.
