Rachel McAdams to star in “Dr. Strange”

Rachel McAdams has confirmed that she will star in Marvel's superhero movie “Doctor Strange” opposite Benedict Cumberbatch during an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Cumberbatch is set to star as Dr. Stephen Strange alongside Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo. “Hannibal” star Mads Mikkelsen is being courted for a villainous role.

Scott Derrickson is directing the comic book movie, which is slated to start shooting in November. Disney will release the film in November 2016.

McAdams' involvement has been rumored for weeks, and the actress has not been shy about confirming she had discussions with Marvel as early as July.

In August at Disney's D23 fan convention, Marvel boss Kevin Feige said that “Doctor Strange” will “continue to push the boundaries of Marvel's cinematic universe” following “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Ant-Man.”
