Rachel McAdams Rumored for 'Doctor Strange' Female Lead


While the knives have been out for the second season of HBO's True Detective (I'm kinda digging it, personally), everybody seems to have good things to say about Rachel McAdams' performance as a hard-nosed cop with personal demons to spare. It's an interesting career turn for her, but another one good be around the corner. A rumor surfacing at Heroic Hollywood says she may be in line for a role in Marvel's Doctor Strange.

The story goes that McAdams has been offered the female lead, meaning she would join stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. So who would this character be? The report doesn't say, but the most likely option would be Strange's lover and disciple, Clea. Then again there are no shortage of mystical female characters in the Marvel Universe, such as Morgan le Fay and Satana Hellstrom, and Jennifer Kale.

Directed by Scott Derrickson, Doctor Strange opens on November 4th 2016.
