7) America Chavez

A lot was made of America Chavez’s (Xochitl Gomez) MCU debut in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but she ended up being less of a character and more of the film’s MacGuffin as the Scarlet Witch hunted her down for her ability to punch her way into other realities. With the Multiverse Saga truly kicking off with Phase Five and the arrival of Kang the Conqueror, it seems likely that America—or, more precisely, her powers—will have some sort of role in the epic to come. But on the other hand, Doctor Strange, Kang, and even Loki and the TVA can hop around the multiverse just fine on their own. Is she really necessary?
