When Marvel Studios revealed 27 actors and actresses as part of the cast of Avengers: Doomsday, fans noted that some names that had been linked to the project were not included. For instance, Chris Evans and Haley Atwell—both of whom may have already filmed under some interesting codenames–had both long been rumored to be attached to star but weren’t among those whose chairs were displayed during the cast reveal. Also notably absent were any of the studio’s younger stars, such as Iman Vellani, Hailee Steinfeld or Xochitl Gomez, all of whom were rumored to team up in the film as Marvel’s Champions. Now, one of that trio may have confirmed those rumors.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Gomez seems to have confirmed her character, America Chavez, will have a role in Avengers: Doomsday.
When asked what America–who debuted and was last seen in 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness— would bring to Avengers: Doomsday, Gomez didn’t follow the Marvel playbook, choosing to actually answer the question.
“Bravery. Courage. And let’s say, powerful,” revealed Gomez.
I mean, I’m excited to see her future. I think most importantly…what do you guys want to see? What are you hoping for America’s future? I would love to see that. Hopefully, we’ll cook up something with what y’all put out there. Manifest it!
-Xochitl Gomez
Given that her character’s power allows her to open portals throughout the Multiverse, Gomez has always seemed like a lock to join the cast on some capacity. However, with a cast expected to include five dozen heroes and villains, there may not be much else for Chavez to do other than open a few star-shaped portals for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
