Xochitl Gomez On Why Joining Marvel’s MCU Was “A Gift & A Curse”

According to Deadline, Xochitl Gomez, who is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and plays America Chavez, recently noted that being part of the MCU was “a gift and a curse.” In a new interview with Bustle, Gomez reflected on joining the MCU at a young age and how difficult it was to book more work afterward. “I was definitely nervous. It was scary and frightening. But also, I was working with people I looked up to,” Gomez told Bustle. She added that she had a hard time getting roles because people thought she was too expensive or worried about her schedule. Gomez, who appeared in 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, when asked about the possibility of returning to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday, said, “Well, they own the rights to my image, so it’s possible.”
