America Chavez will debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a few days when we first see her in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. But what will the future hold for this young superheroine?
Chavez is played by the actress Xochitl Gomez, who is only 15 years old and is one of the youngest actresses in the history of the UCM. With this on the table, even Gómez herself believes that we have América Chávez for a while.
You can definitely see the beginning stages of what the future of America Chavez could be. I took stuff that was in the comics and lightened it up a bit since she’s less experienced. She’s younger than any of her known appearances of her in the comics, and I think you can see that.
As for whether that future that the character has ahead involves the Young Avengers, the actress already seems to have experience avoiding spoilers and dodging bullets.
It was a fun challenge to explore what a younger, less experienced America Chavez might look like, but also hint at the serious leader she would soon become. She wanted to keep that girl’s energy and a little bit of that confidence to fake it until she makes it.
