DOCTOR STRANGE 2 Star Xochitl Gomez Addresses America Chavez's Role In The Multiverse Saga (Exclusive)

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness star Xochitl Gomez addresses how America Chavez could fit into The Multiverse Saga and shares her take on a possible solo outing or team-up with The Avengers.

During this past weekend's San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios stole the show in Hall H after revealing many of the movies and TV shows that will be part of "The Multiverse Saga." Culminating with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, the next few Phases look set to be absolutely epic, and there's one character likely to be key to that.

In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, we were introduced to Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez. The reality-hopping teenager has the ability to travel through the Multiverse, and as the only hero that we know of with that power, you have to believe she will be key in defeating Kang the Conqueror.

Talking to us this week to mark the release of the Doctor Strange sequel on 4K, Blu-ray and DVD, Gomez shared her reaction to the big news that came out of Comic-Con.

"I saw [The Multiverse Saga announcement] and I was like, 'Oooh!' I mean, I haven't gotten a call or anything. I haven't been told what is next for America, but obviously, as a fan, I was listening to the things that were rolling out, and I was like, 'Oh, there's a possibility America could totally be in that!,'" she says in the video below. "So, just fingers crossed. I'm really excited to see what happens because the Multiverse...there's unlimited possibilities with that."
 


Later we asked the actor how it feels to see fans embrace America and the very vocal desire for the character to appear in her own Disney+ TV series or movie. To that, Gomez expressed her gratitude and circled back to the importance of the Multiverse, and potentially America Chavez, in this Saga.

"It's pretty crazy that not only do people love the character, but they want to see more of her. They haven't told me what's next for my character, but I obviously can't ignore that America's powers are, you know, Multiverse and the next chapter of the MCU is called The Multiverse Saga [Laughs]."

"I'm just hoping that America Chavez has a role to play in that and hopefully, it gets to unfold over the next four years or so," she added. "Who knows!"

As for whether she thinks America should assemble alongside The Avengers or Young Avengers, all Gomez would say was, "I am literally up for anything. Like, give me like a five-minute cameo...not even that. Two seconds! I will do it [Laughs]."

We obviously can't underestimate America's importance heading deeper into The Multiverse Saga, and with the hero gaining control over her powers with Wong's help in Kamar Taj, she may soon be the only one capable of stopping Kang. If nothing else, the teenager is going to be a key player in the war that's on the horizon, so we'll be keeping a close eye on what comes next.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now available on Digital and will be released on 4K, Blu-ray and DVD July 26.

They’ll use her instead of molecule man

@ShimmyShimmyYA - two entirely different sets of powers. molecule man literally was the glue holding battleworld together in the last secret wars story. chavez just crosses between universes freely.

@supermanrex - as if they haven’t can’t / won’t completely retcon anyones powers for the mcu, only actual doubt I would have for them using her is they maybe want to avoid using her as a macguffin twice

I really enjoyed the energy she brought to the role. So I'm definitely interested in seeing more of her in the MCU.

It must suck really bad to be that young and early in your career to really not have a clue what's going on with your future of this franchise. I know I was impatient as hell at that age.

Uncertainty sucks but I hope it doesn't stop her from possibly taking other rolls because she feels she might need to keep her schedule open to accommodate Marvel though

@inkniron - at the same time it's also nice to know that you've signed (I assume) a multi-picture deal with a studio.


You don't know if and when the work will come, but having the deal is better than not.

@inkniron - i think they are free to do what they want they just need to probably tell marvel. if their response is no you need to keep your schedule open then thats when they know they are going to be used in something. they cant tie them down and have them on hold forever like that. those actors gotta have work and pay their bills like everyone else...well the non millionaire actors anyway. lol

@inkniron - an impatient teenager? Never...

All joking aside, that might be pretty rough. I'm sure a lot of the a-listers aren't as in the dark as they like to claim they are, but I doubt they tell the kids all the secrets. Surely they give her enough heads up in case she was working on something else to where there wasn't a conflict.

@supermanrex - I wasn't really commenting that they could keep her from doing it, more her inexperience that she might hold off on taking things, expecting that call it any minute.

People like Oscar isaac, who have all kinds of experience in the business, are probably really at ease filming about five things last year while doing Moon Knight.

Then again, the way that they are unethical slave drivers with the VFX studios, who knows what depths they may sink to.

I loved her in this movie. I hope she's back soon though I wouldnt be mad if they dropped the training in kamar-taj stuff
thewanderer
thewanderer - 7/27/2022, 12:17 PM
@TheManWithoutFear - I wouldn't be surprised by that. Look how many students they had there at Karmar-Taj. Surely they don't all "graduate". You'd be seeing wizards all over the place.

I could see it being more of that she's there now to focus on her inner self and control her powers.

GameOn - 7/27/2022, 12:45 PM
@thewanderer - I don’t think there’s anything suggesting a low graduation rate, the sorcerers just aren’t known to be public vigilantes like Wong and Strange. They guard the sanctums and protect the realms in secret, much like the scene in Endgame when we see the Ancient One helping protect New York in 2012.

i love her energy, she was great as America Chavez eventho her origins were a bit lazy, but i get it i'm allergic to them bees i'll panic too lol

I'm all in for more America, give her a show or have her show up in a team up.. like Young Avengers and stuff.. i mean it's no coincidence they are introducing so many young heroes, still looking forward to Chavez future in the MCU.

Hopefully she becomes the flying brick she's known for being in the comics.
