It was first reported back in July that Rachel McAdams was being eyed for the Doctor Strange female lead. And while the Canadian actress had confirmed weeks later that she was in "super-early" talks with Marvel Studios, it seems those "talks" have since become finalized negotiations. According to The Wrap, McAdams revealed during the Toronto International Film Festival that she'll indeed star opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in the Sorcerer Supreme's cinematic debut next year.

There is still no word on which character Rachel McAdams will portray in Doctor Strange, but heavy speculation points to Clea, the sorceress & lover of Dr. Stephen Strange, or maybe Night Nurse. Nonetheless, she will make another exceptional addition to the ever-growing Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially considering she turned down the role of Virginia "Pepper" Potts in the studios' first outing, Iron Man. In addition to Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Stephen Strange), Rachel McAdams joins Chiwetel Ejiofor (Baron Mordo), Tilda Swinton (Ancient One) , and potentially Mads Mikkelsen. With filming all set to begin this November in London, Doctor Strange opens November 4, 2016.

Haha, I can't wait to see Dr Strange, I want to go to a really late showing and walk out of the Theatre completely mesmerized, and think about craziness for the rest of the night

I'm disappointed they didn't cast a more attractive woman for the role, yikes...

This is confirmed? Aside from Jeff Sniders tweet i can't find this anywhere. Not even on the wrap website. You'd think it would be there first if she [frick]ing told them.

@Batz11 Ah, thanks, kept looking and looking couldn't find anything about it.


Good to know this is confirmed. This is good casting. My father really liked her in true detective. He's gonna love this news.

Alright? Alright? ALRIGHT?

This has the best cast of a comic-book movie I have ever seen since The Dark Knight

GOTG has a better cast than this.

Ejifor, Cumberbatch, Swinton, Mads himself AND now Rachel McAdams?

No over-reacting at all, this IS the greatest cast of a comic-book movie since the DK

No disrespect to the cast of Guardians (Love the movie and the cast) but this has way better actors.

Cumberbatch and McAdams are the only members of this cast that I care about. Not impressed with anyone else. I'm not saying the film will be bad or making any implication similar to that, just saying that for the most part the cast is just alright.

How DISAPPOINTING.
McAdams kicked ass on True Detective,
She could've been awesome as Captain Marvel, it's sad she's relegated to the love interest



I'm sure as Clea (if she is Clea) she'll get to take part in some action, but she'll still be a supporting role and probably only really fit in Dr Strange movies. :(

WB be [frick]ing up with their casting. Nobody of talent there on that side.

She was the only thing worthwhile in that True Detective Season 2 debacle.

Congrats to her. I hope she gets to have a big part and not something dumb or small.
