America Chavez was originally supposed to make her first cameo appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home but was cut from the film early on in a decision that was right for both No Way Home and its successor. Covid-19 forced Marvel Studios to reshuffle various Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4 release dates. As a result, America will now have her first MCU appearance in the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Recently released No Way Home concept art revealed that the original intention was to have America Chavez debut in the MCU's third Spider-Man film. Understandably so, given that her character is closely linked with the Multiverse. She is from the Utopian Parallel, a dimension outside of the time and space of the Multiverse, and she boasts an impressive slate of powers. Alongside flight, superhuman speed, super strength, and invulnerability, she also understands the inner workings of the Multiverse with Hyper-Cosmic Awareness, and she creates star-shaped portals that can transport her throughout the Multiverse. Though it is unclear whether she will start in the MCU aware of every ability, it is safe to say that America is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Comics canon and has the potential to shake up the current power hierarchy in the MCU.
