Is Marvel courting Rachel McAdams for a lead role in Dr. Strange?

The Spellbook




That's the rumour that's circulating around the web this morning, anyway. The actress, currently appearing on our screens in True Detective's troubled second season, has been linked to a role in the movie multiple times in the past.

Last we heard, Marvel was actively pursuing McAdams, hoping to get her to sign on the dotted line and appear alongside Benedict Cumberbatch as the female lead in Doctor Strange.

Nothing has been confirmed officially, but McAdams has since acknowledged the rumours, revealing that she has been in talks with Marvel. Speaking to the LA Times, McAdams said, "It's still super-early days, and I don't know where that's gonna go, if it's gonna go anywhere at all."

Only time will tell whether or not McAdam decides to enter the MCU, but if she does this will probably be the most heavyweight line-up of thesps seen in a Marvel movie to date. Although I still have reservations about director Scott Derrickson involvement, I'll confess that I'm eager to see what this cast, one that includes the talents of Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton and Chiwetel Ejiofor, can bring to the material.
