Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is coming out next month. The director, Sam Raimi, has recently talked about the abilities of America Chavez. America Chavez is a Marvel comic superhero. Created by Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta, she is the first Marvel LGBTQ+ character to star in an ongoing series. And now she is getting her live-action film debut in Doctor Strange 2. Xochitl Gomez will be portraying the character.
The upcoming Doctor Strange movie is going to be the first horror film of Marvel Cinematic Universe. And Sam Raimi is known for some good horror films like The Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. It is going to fully embrace the Marvel multiverse concept. And America Chavez is going to be a part of it too.
Sam Raimi talks about America Chavez’s powers
In an interview with Fandango, Sam Raimi revealed some necessary information about the character’s live-action debut. She was supposed to be a part of Spider-Man: No Way Home but that didn’t happen. But finally we get to see her along side Doctor Strange into the Multiverse of Madness. The director talked about her relationship with Sorceror Supreme.
Sam Raimi also said, “Well, she adds an exciting spirit of youth. She’s a newcomer to her powers and to our world. She actually comes from another universe. I think she brings a sense of lightness and youth. Benedict Cumberbatch‘s Doctor Strange can be a very egotistical and stuffy character, a know-it-all. She just flies in the face of that. Doesn’t really have respect for him originally. She sees right through the fronts that he puts up. She’s much more down-to-earth and one of us, and she doesn’t take his attitude. I don’t think he likes that at first. So, she creates a contrast.”
Other characters we might see in Doctor Strange 2
Apart from America Chavez, who is joining Doctor Strange and Wong fleeing her reality to fight a multiverse threat, there are other characters we might get to see. From the very first trailer, it is quite sure that Evil Doctor Strange and Defender Strange among other variants will be a appearing in the movie. Also, variants of Wanda and Patrick Stewart as Professor X too are supposed to appear.
Also, Loki, Superior Iron Man, and Ultron Drones too can be expected to be seen in the Multiverse. The fans are excited to see what the movie holds for them and what all characters and variants they might get to see. It could include characters that change MCU world forever.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness comes out on May 6.
