Xochitl Gomez joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe at a young age. The 20-year-old made her on-screen debut in Disney Channel’s Raven’s Home in 2018 and led one season of Netflix’s The Baby-Sitters Club before jumping to the Marvel Cinematic Universe at just age 16, starring as America Chavez in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Since then, fans have wondered when the multiverse-hopping hero will return. Gomez’s name was not included in the list of cast members for Doomsday that was announced in March 2025. With ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ arriving December 18, the question has only become more pressing.

Now Gomez has given a short but telling answer. When asked in a new interview whether she could return for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, she replied, “Well, they own the rights to my image, so it’s possible,” she told Bustle.

Gomez has been playfully vague about her Marvel future before. At the premiere of Nobody 2, ET asked Gomez about the character, with the interviewer hinting she was a lock for the next Avengers movie. When asked for 3 words she hoped would describe America in the next Avengers film, she picked bravery, courage, and powerful.

That interview led to plenty of speculation. ET then mentioned the large ensemble cast, adding, “Yourself included.” Gomez reacted with a face and a surprised, “Oh.” She went on to say she’d love to reunite with Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch onscreen one day.

Not every report is optimistic. Renowned scooper My Time To Shine Hello, also known as MTTSH, stated that it appears Xochitl Gomez’s America might not have a role in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars.

The insider was clearly frustrated by that possibility. MTTSH wrote in a post on X that it was “INSANE” that America Chavez, whose literal power is traveling the multiverse, wouldn’t be in Doomsday or have an important role in Secret Wars. However, there is no confirmation regarding this from Marvel Studios yet.

The character’s powers make her an obvious fit for Marvel’s current saga. The two upcoming Avengers films are built around a multiverse-spanning conflict, and America’s ability to travel between universes is a natural match for that story.

That’s part of why fans keep asking about her. Fans have expressed surprise and disappointment over her potential absence from the upcoming Avengers movies, questioning the decision not to use her multiverse-traveling powers.

The ‘VisionQuest’ finale also put Wanda back in the conversation. Its post-credits scene shows Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom pulling rubble off Wanda Maximoff, and Gomez’s on-screen bond with Wanda in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ has fans wondering about a possible reunion.

The Bustle interview also covered Gomez’s life beyond Marvel. Like Ferrera, the Mexican American actor uses her platform to advocate for Latinx representation in film, which, combined with playing a Marvel hero, has drawn her fair share of racist criticism. But as she enters her 20s, she’s setting boundaries — including creating a healthy distance from Hollywood.

She also reflected on her time on ‘Dancing with the Stars’. Gomez said she went in expecting to be up against Olympians and pro athletes and assumed she wouldn’t make it very far. Instead, she stayed in the competition for 11 weeks in a row and was able to introduce her culture to America. For now, her Avengers status remains a mystery. Fans will find out soon whether America Chavez shows up in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.

Do you think America Chavez will return in 'Avengers: Doomsday'?
