Xochitl Gomez Doctor Strange 2 Interview: Auditioning for the MCU, America Chavez's Future
207Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party is all about making sure you’re well aware of some of the biggest talent on the rise right now and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness star Xochitl Gomez most certainly fits that description.
She makes her MCU debut in the Doctor Strange sequel as America Chavez, a teenager with the ability to travel the multiverse via star-shaped portals. That power makes her Scarlet Witch’s (Elizabeth Olsen) prime target given her desperation to reunite with her children. Fortunately, America crosses paths with Earth 616’s Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) who, with the help of Wong (Benedict Wong) and the other sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, is willing to do whatever it takes to protect her from Wanda.
Hear all about Gomez's journey from admiring Katniss Everdeen and starring in Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club series to joining one of the biggest franchises of all time on this edition of Collider Ladies Night!
