Landing a role in a sprawling franchise like the MARVEL or DC universe is often seen as a career springboard, boosting an actor’s profile and opening the door to more opportunities. But sometimes, that exposure can have the opposite effect. Xochitl Gomez (pictured below), who made her MCU debut as America Chavez in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," recently admitted that becoming a MARVEL hero did not lead to more acting offers.

In an interview with Bustle, Gomez said she was understandably nervous and intimidated when she first joined the franchise, even as she found herself working alongside actors she had long admired. After the film, however, she struggled to land other roles because producers assumed she would be too expensive or unavailable due to potential scheduling conflicts. In reality, Gomez said she was nowhere near as busy as Hollywood seemed to think. She described joining MARVEL as both a gift and a curse, adding that she still wanted the chance to take on exciting independent films.
