Popularly known for the 2004 romantic drama, The Notebook, Rachel McAdams is among some of the prominent names in Hollywood. The actress joined one of the most popular franchises at the time, the MCU, alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in the 2016 film Doctor Strange. She has since reprised the role of Christine Palmer in the animated Marvel series, What If…? and the 2022 sequel of Doctor Strange.
During her recent interview, the Canadian actress talked about her possible return to the MCU in future projects and about how it’s not very easy to star in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Rachel McAdams Talks About Starring in the MCU
During her recent interview with Empire Magazine, Rachel McAdams talked about returning to the MCU, followed by her last appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. She shared that she cannot say anything for now, but she “wouldn’t be sad to keep going with it.”
The Mean Girls actress shared that she finds her Marvel character fun, and with the presence of the multiverse, anything is possible. “It’s a fun part. And I liked that she’s gone in different directions now,” she said. McAdams also stated that one of the things she learned while working in the MCU is that “green-screen acting is hard.” She also shared,
“And that you have to be really fit to make a Marvel movie. I had to really tap into my figure-skating, sporty side from another life.”
Multiverse of Madness featured two variants of Christine Palmer. One from the prime earth, who makes a brief appearance, and another from Earth 838, who’s a scientist at the Baxter Foundation and an ally of the Illuminati.
Doctor Strange 3 Could Reportedly Release Before Avengers: Secret Wars
A few months earlier, insider Jason Kane claimed that Marvel Studios is planning to release multiple films in 2026, which could include a Doctor Strange threequel, Avengers: Kang Dynasty, and an Eternals sequel.
The scooper also claimed that Disney is planning to alter the release schedule of Avatar 4 “to give Secret Wars December instead of pushing it to May 2027.” James Cameron has also said that the fourth film in the Avatar franchise could take up to three years after the threequel, hinting that it might not come on-screen till 2027.
Similar to Rachel McAdams, Benedict Cumberbatch has also expressed his interest in featuring in the third Doctor Strange film. He said that he would love to do another film in the series as there is still so much more to explore about the character. The studio, however, has not said anything officially about a Doctor Strange threequel yet.
Doctor Strange and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are available on Disney+.
