Her announcement has made lots of fans excited but just as any developing movie, some details will have to be kept under wraps until a certain period of time. The "True Detective" actress was asked who she will be in the movie but she did not divulge the details, joking that Marvel might come after her if she gave away more information.
Her top secret role has made some fans speculate. According to Vanity Fair, the most possible character for McAdams to play is Clea, a magically gifted woman and Strange's love interest. Other guesses include Night Nurse, Doctor Strange's love interest from his 2006 limited series "The Oath," and Morgana Blessing, a character which debuted in 1981 as a long-time lover of Strange. Other stars that have already been revealed as part of the cast include Tilda Swinton and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Mads Mikkelsen has also been rumored to be casted.
Marvel's "Doctor Strange" is slated to be released in the U.S. on November 4, 2016.
