Rachel McAdams Confirmed to Star in DOCTOR STRANGE
Last month, Rachel McAdams confirmed that she had been in talks with Marvel to star in Doctor Strange alongside Benedict Cumberbatch. She previously stated, "I don't know where that's gonna go, if it's gonna go anywhere at all." TheWrap has now confirmed that McAdams has, in fact, taken the lead female role.
She will also star alongside Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo, and, if his deal goes through, Mads Mikkelsen as the main villain.
McAdams is a great actress, and it's exciting to hear that she is actually going to be in the movie. There's no official word on who she'll be playing, but I have no doubt that she'll be great!
I got to see a collection of concept art that was created for the film at Disney's D23 Expo, and I'm telling you...this movie is going to be incredible! It's going to be unlike any other Marvel movie that has been made so far. Here's what I wrote about it:
"Strange has been monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D., and we see him go through several different costume looks. Those include his traditional outfit, complete with his cape, and he even sports the gray hair at his temples.
"We got so see visuals of the car crash and his journey as he searches for the Ancient One. There was a lot of crazy cool astral plane art with a very magical and cosmic vibe. The collection of art was packed with planets and colorful lights. We see a city in which cars are suspended in air. Some of the art shows the city looking twisted and distorted, and it seems to turn in on itself. The last shot of the test footage was actually a piece of CG animated footage of Strange delivering a badass blast of light."
Doctor Strange is scheduled to hit theaters on November 4th, 2016. It's being directed by Scott Derrickson from a script written by Jon Spaihts.
