Who is Rachel McAdams playing in Doctor Strange? That's something we've all been wondering for a very long time, and Entertainment Weekly has finally revealed her identity. Sort of. "Rachel McAdams plays a fellow surgeon that has a history with Strange and is his sort of lynchpin to his old life, once he steps into he role of a sorcerer," Kevin Feige explains in an interview with the site. "She is someone he connects with at the beginning, and reconnects with, and helps anchor his humanity." So, she's not Clea then, but could she be a contemporary version of Night Nurse, now a doctor instead of somone who spends their nights helping out New York City's vigilantes? 

"Rachel McAdams is sort of [Doctor Strange’s] contemporary in the modern-day New York world, before and after he goes on this crazy journey," Doctor Strange executive producer Stephen Broussard teases. "So, she sees him before, she sees him after. She’s kind of this audience point of view." It sounds like she's going to be a love interest then, right? Benedict Cumberbatch seemingly confirmed that in a very tongue in cheek manner! "I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say what the interest is," says the actor. "But if I hit on her more than the Ancient One, put it like that." Well, that's a relief, though with Tilda Swinton playing the character, it wouldn't have been THAT weird! As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts on these comments below.

yay another white love interest. I knew they wouldn't mess that role up. Now if only they could have gotten the ancient ones character right.

I hope they make her character interesting. It'd be wasted talent if they didn't. She's an incredible actress.

In a few year 90% of the actors will have been in a Marvel movie

For example, I was watching Sicario and going "oh there's Thanos." "There's the Collector" "Wow, Punisher is there too" "Oh and she just might turn out to be Captain Marvel, who knows?"

It's going to be a conglomeration of an origin story or the Oath.

She's prolly Linda Carter night nurse. In an interview they said that Dawson was actually gonna play Carter but it came up that the MCU might be using her....so she HAS to be linda carter's night nurse except theyre making her a surgeon

Worlds Collide!
Tilda Swinton X Rachel McAdams.

That's what Stephen Strange likes to watch.


Meanwhile, now that Disney owns Marvel it would curious if Marvel did a comic about Sorcerer Supremes throughout history and we discover that Before the Ancient One, the previous Sorcerer Supreme was Yen Sid and the Ancient One was his Apprentice.
