Rachel McAdams Confirms She Is In Talks For 'Doctor Strange'

Earlier this month rumors surfaced that Rachel McAdams was in talks for the lead female role in Marvel's newest superhero film, "Doctor Strange." McAdams confirmed to Den of Geek that she is in talks for the film.

"I don't have much to say about it right now. There's not really anything to comment on. But, if there is, I'll let you know," the actress said.

McAdams said something similar to the Los Angeles Times about starring in "Doctor Strange" which is set to star Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character and Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One. "It's still super-early days, and I don't know where that's gonna go, if it's gonna go anywhere at all," McAdams says.

Doctor Strange is one of the most powerful sorcerers in existence. He draws his power from three primary sources: the invocation of powerful mystic entities or objects, the manipulation of the universe's ambient magical energy, and his own psychic resources. Strange is an expert surgeon, but his nerve-damaged hands prevent him from performing surgery except when supplemented by magic, according to his character profile on Marvel.com.

Doctor Strange is scheduled to start shooting in November at Pinewood-Shepperton in the UK. It arrives in theaters on Nov. 4, 2016, according to Nerdist.
