New merch for the upcomingΒ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessΒ has hinted that the film will celebrate a new characterβs queerness loudly and proudly.
Marvel announced in 2020 that Xochitl Gomez had been cast as the lesbian teenage superhero America Chavez in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Chavez, also known as Miss America, has been a favourite ever since her comic book debut back in 2011, and fans have been eager to find out whether the MCU will put her queerness front and centre.

In true Marvel fashion, the film studio has kept mostly quiet about the film and about Chavezβ introduction.Β However, new promotional merch forΒ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessΒ on Amazon has given fans an exciting clue.
TheΒ βAmerica Chavez Costumeβ shirtΒ features details from the front of the lesbian heroβs iconic jacket, including an LGBT+ Pride flag pin on one breast pocket. There is also the message βAmor es Amorβ, which is Spanish for βlove is loveβ, alongside the buttons to the jacket. The shirt is sold as βofficially licensed Marvel apparelβ, however fans are still waiting for their first clear, full look at Gomez in costume as Chavez.
In December, Marvel released its first trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but Chavez appeared only briefly in a couple of shots.
Coming after the events ofΒ Spider-Man: No Way Home, the sequel will see Dr Strange βtamper with the stability of spacetimeβ after a spell goes wrong and entering the multiverse.Itβs speculated thatΒ Miss America could play a huge role in the film as in the comics ChavezΒ runs away into the multiverse after being forced to flee Planeta Fuertona, an all-female planet. The young hero is gifted with enhanced speed and strength as well as the ability to punch holes through the fabric of time and space.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessΒ arrives in cinemas on 6 May.
