## Key points

- Gomez says Marvel work made later casting more difficult.
- She wants opportunities in independent films.
- A return as America Chavez remains possible.

## Summary

Xochitl Gomez says joining Marvel’s Cinematic Universe brought both opportunity and difficulty, as some casting teams later worried she would be too expensive or unavailable for other projects. She said this made it harder to secure roles in independent films, despite her interest in pursuing them.

Gomez played America Chavez in 2022’s *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*. Asked about rumours of an appearance in *Avengers: Doomsday*, she said a return was possible because Marvel owns the rights to her image. She would be interested in revisiting America after the character began to understand her powers, including her relationship with Wong.
