According to Heroic Hollywood, Rachel McAdams (Mean Girls, Red Eye, True Detective) has been offered the female lead role in Marvel's Doctor Strange alongside Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme. The site makes no mention of which character she'd play, but if it's Strange's love interest then one would assume it's Clea, or possibly Morganna Blessing.

Of course even if McAdams has been offered the role, there no guarantee she'll accept - but if she does sign on she'll also join Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo, and Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One.

Scott Derrickson is directing the film from a script by Jon Sphaits, and shooting is set to commence in London this Fall. Doctor Strange will hit theaters November 4, 2016.

She and Colin Farrell are the only redeeming parts in this currently underwhelming season of True Detective.

Nice casting coup for Doctor Strange if it happens.

Looks like the UK reviews for ANT-MAN will be hitting the web shortly. Watch out though, they're spoilery.

After her character in Hunger Games Clea might not be that far off.

Her and I went to the same school so this makes me VERY HAPPY!

ALTHOUGH I think she should have been Lois Lane in the DCCU. She would have done a great job!

This is where I pretend she's the greatest actress ever and I've always been a fan? Just joshing, would be a cool addition. Definetly the weakest of the bunch, but this:

I'd bet the offer isn't for a supporting actor in strange, but for titular role in capt marvel.

Rachel McAdams is SO UNDERRATED! The woman is soooo versatile, she just needs a really good agent to get her into SOLID movies.

If Marvel really wants to go early in Doctor Strange's history, the lead female could be Victoria Bentley. That character was around long before Clea or Morgana. In fact, her first contact with Stephen Strange was when Baron Mordo was impersonating her sorcerer father, Clive.
