Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness star Xochitl Gomex wants her MCU character America Chaves to team up with The Avengers. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness brought many big things from the comics into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While it was a pretty big deal to have Sam Raimi back in the Marvel world after his hit Spider-Man trilogy, we also got a big punching entrance for America Chavez! Played by Xochitl Gomez, we got to see her come into her own as a hero from another universe, alongside Earth-616’s Doctor Strange.” Read more at The Mary Sue “After the Marvel Theatrical panel on Saturday night, Marvel sent out a press release to a bunch of press-release-hungry journalists.
