Exclusive: DoctorStrange in the Multiverse of Madness director Sam Raimi praises America Chavez and the MCU's move toward more diversity.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness director Sam Raimi praises America Chavez and the MCU's move towards diversity. After a solo outing in 2016 and several team-up movies, including Avengers: Endgame and, most recently, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange is set to return for another mind-bending adventure in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness also introduces audiences to several new characters, including the Latin-American America Chavez, played by Xochitl Gomez. Initial trailers don't reveal too much about Chavez's role in the film but, in the comics, Chavez is a superhero who possesses super strength, flight, and the ability to open portals between realities, eventually taking on the superhero name Miss America.
"It's great, because I love the fact that Marvel's very inclusive, and this young Latina can now represent a heroic figure for many people out there that were underrepresented before." Back in 2012, with the first Avengers film, the MCU consisted mostly of white male heroes, with the only female hero being Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow. Since then, the MCU has made a concerted effort to introduce audiences to a more diverse slate of heroes.
It remains to be seen how prominently America Chavez will feature in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but trailers and promotional material suggest the role will be far more than just a cameo. It's likely that, with her introduction in the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel, Chavez will appear in more MCU projects moving forward, potentially even her own spinoff film or Disney+ series.
