In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, we meet an exciting new hero in Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez. With the power to punch through realities, we anticipate her being a major player in the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving forward, but what does Gomez know about her future?
Talking to Digital Spy, the relative newcomer said, "I would love to continue to play her, of course. I'm just excited to see what the MCU has in store for her and her character growth. I wish [I knew more]. I asked for hints like, 'Guys, this way or this way? Just point which way'. And they're like, 'Nope.'"
During a separate interview with Entertainment Tonight, Gomez was asked about potentially joining the Young Avengers. America has become a key part of that team in recent years, and it's in that comic book series we've seen her LGBTQ+ status explored in a significant way. While many fans are hoping for a Disney+ spinoff featuring the character, the actress sounds keen for a team-up down the line.
"Whatever they plan to do, I’m willing to do it," she responded with enthusiasm. "I have made friends with lots of people. I mean, of course through IG and stuff. But I mean, why not?"
As per usual, we're in the dark about Marvel Studios' plans moving forward. The response to the Doctor Strange sequel hasn't been as overwhelmingly positive as some previous MCU movies, so we have to believe that will be taken into account when it comes to future plans for all these characters.
