did they just tease America Chavez?

The above image was released to celebrate pride month starting around the globe. When Kabam does these things, they include characters in the game, as you would. But as you can see this also includes America Chavez.

It’s in the Kabam style artwork as well, and seeing as how she is going to be in Doctor Strange 2 next year, could this be an early tease? Hercules also currently isn’t in the game but we know he’s coming so I’m 99% confident this is a tease for the future.

well, they also included Iron Spider in a cinematic/motion comic once, so...

hopefully she actually comes unlike him

Interesting maybe a next month thing as hercules is on it but could be just an artwork and nothing else

Ercarret

She might be on the way but I would assume that she would drop closer to the Dr Strange movie in that case. I don't know when that drops, but definitely not next month.

That said, it would be a bit weird to feature a quite prominent LGBT character so front-and-center in the marketing material and then not have her show up in the game. Even if she doesn't actually become playable until the movie comes out, maybe they do a Sigil SW and add her to the game a few months before making her playable? Dunno.

Hopefully the Kang comes too

Doctor Strange 2 was originally slated for release on May 7, 2021. Obviously that did not happen. It was pushed back twice, first to November of 2021 and then finally to March of 2022 (the current scheduled release date).

I would say it’s not unrealistic that we see America Chavez scheduled to appear sometime later this year, as the pandemic messed with all of the movie tie-in champion release plans (see: Black Widow DO, Red Guardian, and Shang-Chi).

I think they’ve had enough time to move AC around since it’s been at the may date for a while

Probably right, that’s why I was careful to say “not unrealistic” as opposed to like “probably” or anything more confident than that. I could see it happening, but I dunno if it’s likely. I don’t know how far out they plan the champion schedule.

Yeah. And I’m not entirely sure if Shang-Chi was a tie in or not.

Wasn’t the movie outfit, Mr. Negative isn’t in the movie, and they were both released in Asian Heritage Month.

Possibly, possibly not. Either way they posted a tweet celebrating pride month with that photo.

Bumping this thread to add:

Marvel.com ran an article yesterday hyping the Pride month events in MCOC, Strike Force, and Puzzle Quest and said:

Enjoy this exclusive wallpaper featuring the LGBTQ+ heroes of The Contest — Hercules, Angela, America Chavez, and Iceman!

so.... looks to me like she's coming soon...

TwistedTalentz

Either way, this is a dope image. When I saw this i said to myself "Whoa, this is awesome"

What are her powers?

Super strength, flight, can open star-shaped inter dimensional portals, the usual

Raichu626

What are her powers?

Generic superhero stuff (super strong, super durable, flight), and opening portals across the multiverse.

FluffyPigMonster

I love Captain America, and would love more viable (ahem, Kabam) Captain Americas.

4th of July is next month, so……America!

FluffyPigMonster

I see some posts deleted so I’ll change mine.

America Chavez better wreck stuff, Kabam

She has nothing to do with Captain America. She's from a world outside the normal marvel comics multiverse and (afaik) didn't even know America existed when she came to the main marvel universe. It's just a coincidence she uses star shaped portals

FluffyPigMonster

She is another world’s leader. Replace Cap with her. She’s on the front lines and means something. Sounds like a cap level hero to me. Doesn’t have to be exactly Captain America. It’s what she stands for.

No. Falcon already did that

Looks great. I think she's going to become a favorite

First time I have seen one of these videos - Chavez does look pretty cool.

As a side note - does the game look like this for anyone else? It seems like 60 fps, with slightly better resolution. I feel like with other contest videos on youtube, the game looks just like it does on my phone.

Not in this game he didn’t.

I’ll take Captain America Sam Wilson over America Chavez, but it’s not a thing at the moment

Thats because it's the first video they've ever made like this. Hence why it says episode 1.
