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 sorcereress & 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.
