Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness director Sam Raimi reveals more details about Xochitl Gomez’s America Chavez. Raimi is best known for his work on horror films, including The Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, and, of course, helming Sony’s Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire.

Following WandaVision, Loki, What If…?, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, Multiverse of Madness is poised to fully embrace Phase Four’s multiverse concept as its heroes encounter alternate, variant versions of themselves and other well-known characters. The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Elizabeth Olsen, who all reprise their MCU roles. Joining them is Gomez making her MCU debut as the America Chavez, who was originally supposed to cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
