Marvel star Rachel McAdams will not be returning for the upcoming film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Doctor Strange fans have had one heck of a day. Earlier today Variety reported that Sam Raimi was in talks to direct the upcoming film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Unfortunately in that same article, it was also reported that Rachel McAdams would not be returning for the sequel.
In the first Doctor Strange film, Rachel McAdams played Christine Palmer. In the film, the two were once in a romantic relationship but had since moved past it. In Doctor Strange, Rachel McAdams’ character helped Doctor Strange against his battles against Kaecilius and Dormammu and served as a more down to earth character who countered Doctor Strange’s immense ego. The report sadly did not give a reason as to why Rachel McAdams was not returning for the sequel.
What do you all make of this news? Are you sad to hear that Rachel McAdams will not be returning to the Doctor Strange sequel? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
Details on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are currently limited, though it is said to be Marvel Studios’ first true foray into the horror genre. Furthermore, the Disney Plus mini-series WandaVision will also serve as the lead-in to the Doctor Strange sequel.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness features a script written by Jade Bartlett and will star Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, and Elizabeth Olsen.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is still scheduled to be released in theaters on May 7, 2021. Stay tuned for more updates on Spider-Man, Sam Rami, Doctor Strange and the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we learn it!
