The potential role of Rachel McAdams in Scott Derrickson's upcoming Marvel Comics movie "Doctor Strange" has been confirmed. "The Notebook" star McAdams will be playing the character of Christine Palmer. In its 1970's first comic title, Christine Palmer was among those three women that used a Night Nurse codename.
When McAdams was initially associated to play the character in "Doctor Strange," the rumors said that McAdam's character would have been Linda Carter, an attending doctor of the superhero set, and referred to as "Night Nurse," IGN reported. Its publication realized that it seemed odd if McAdams will not play Carter, since Carter was the most popular among those three Night Nurses.
In Marvel Studios' "Daredevil," Rosario Dawson of "Sin City" also plays the role of a Night Nurse but it was never Carter because Marvel Studios was reportedly planning to use this role somewhere else. In case McAdams won't be playing as Carter in this film, then the character as Palmer might be the right way to present the former, Food World News reported.
Aside from the role from "Doctor Strange," actress McAdams has also been reported to appear in Drew Pearce and Arthur Conan Doyle's action-thriller film "Sherlock Holmes 3" as well as in a Tom McCarthy's thriller, the "Spotlight."
McAdams is popular for the roles in different television shows and films like the Mark Water's comedy movie "Mean Girls," the action-crime "Sherlock Holmes," of Guy Ritchie, "About Time", a romance drama by Richard Curtis' and the romance-comedy by Woody Allen, the "Midnight in Paris
Meantime, "Doctor Strange" is going to present the original tale of Doctor Stephen Strange, the neurosurgeon that loses the fine motor abilities of his hands following an accident. Then he meets the Ancient One, the master of magic that will train him to be the Sorcerer Supreme to protect this world from the evil.
"Doctor Strange" will also star Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton and Benedict Cumberbatch, the Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme. MadsMikkelsen, the "Hannibal" actor who has been reported to play the character of Dormammu or Mephisto, may not be part of the Derrickson's upcoming film.
Derrickson's "Doctor Strange" will premiere in U.S. theaters on Nov. 4, 2016.
