Rachel McAdams Officially Returning for Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS
Rachel McAdams is officially set to reprise her role as Dr. Christine Palmer in director Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. She joins Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong and Chiwetel Ejiofor who are also all reprising their roles as Doctor Strange, fellow sorcerer Wong, and Karl Mordo.
The film will also see Elizabeth Olsen reprising her role as Scarlet Witch, aka Wanda Maximoff. The events of this film will tie in with Marvel’s Disney+ series, WandaVision. She will reportedly play a big role in the story and there’s speculation that she could end up being the villain.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is going to crack the Marvel multiverse wide open in a huge way. Kevin Feige previously explained that the multiverse is the next step in the evolution of the MCU and that the Doctor Strange sequel is the key, saying:
"When we first started the MCU, it was all about Tony Stark. Introduce the world to Tony Stark and that Iron Man armor. Then [we] went on to teach people what Asgardians were and learn about super soldiers then bring them together in Avengers. I've always loved space movies and I've always loved big intergalactic tales, which is why we did Guardians and the audience came with us so we could do a movie like Endgame. I always wanted to do time travel, which we finally got to do in Endgame. The multiverse is the next step in the evolution of the MCU and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is going to crack it open in ways that will have repercussions for a Disney+ series before it that's not WandaVision and for movies after it in a big fun way."
I’m ridiculously excited about this movie, and I can’t wait to see how it affects the future of the MCU.
