Though Marvel doesn't currently have plans for a Miss America movie (that we know of, anyway), Stephanie Beatriz has made it very clear that she'd love to play the character. More past the jump...

America Chavez, AKA Miss America, has always been a fairly well-liked character, but a recent solo comic run from Gabby Rivera and Joe Quinones has resulted in a surge in popularity.

Whether this leads to Marvel Studios taking note and announcing plans for a live-action adaptation (be it film or TV) remains to be seen, but if it were to happen, Brooklyn 99 actress Stephanie Beatriz would be more than happy to step into Miss Chavez's red, white 'n blue sneakers.

I'd like to see America Chavez played by me and written by @QuirkyRican https://t.co/t8c7tI5Kdk

Even if the studio does get around to doing something with Chavez, it'll probably be some time before we see get to see it come to fruition - however, the Captain Marvel movie might just open the door for a similarly mega-powerful female hero sooner rather than later.

Though America Chavez is typically depicted as a teenager (there was an adult incarnation from a possible future that served as Captain America), what would you think about Beatriz taking on the role? Sound off below.

BrettMan - 5/22/2017, 8:37 AM

FilmDork1221 - 5/22/2017, 5:32 AM

I don't know the character but the actress is fantastic and would be a welcome addition to the MCU... Can anyone give me a brief explanation on America Chavez/Miss America?

@FilmDork1221 - A teenage lesbian Latin-American superhero who was raised in a reality out of time, who in addition to flight and superstrength has the ability to travel between parallel universes, very powerful, protects all realities.

BrettMan - 5/22/2017, 8:38 AM

@TheUnworthyThor - And her parents are two lesbians who seemingly created her biologically

So teeeechnically she's straight since she's from a world where everyone's gay

@CalvinEllis - in regards to "Editing is EngSoc" you should probably not look to or expect your media entertainment outlets to confirm or deny your political views

Scarilian - 5/22/2017, 5:38 AM

Maybe in Phase 7 or something, but i doubt she's needed at the moment. They have Black Panther, Bucky and Falcon who could all fill the 'political thriller superhero movie' role that Captain America films have drifted into

They have also only just started to explore other dimensions and realities with Doctor Strange and Ant-Man. Ideally they should get her into the series when they get the rights to the Fantastic Four and start exploring other realities - maybe have a group of Avengers/Superheroes who protect the varying realities.
