“After [Doctor Strange], I had a hard time getting roles,” Gomez shared. “They were like, ‘She’s too expensive. What if she’s in this and that, her schedule?'”
Despite actively seeking diverse roles, Gomez has not reprised her role as America Chavez in any new Marvel projects. The character’s storyline in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” hinted at a promising future, with Chavez training at Kamar-Taj to become a more powerful superhero. Yet, four years later, there has been no announcement of her return.
Speculation about a possible Marvel series, “Strange Academy,” which could have continued Chavez’s journey, remains unconfirmed. Additionally, there have been no official announcements of her character appearing in upcoming Marvel films like “Avengers: Doomsday” or “Avengers: Secret Wars,” despite her powers fitting the narrative arc.
“It was a gift and a curse,” Gomez explained. “I want to do the cool indie movies. Give me a chance, guys.”
When asked about a potential return, Gomez remarked, “Well, they own the rights to my image, so it’s possible,” leaving fans to wonder if her next Marvel appearance might be a surprise.
