Rachel McAdams has teased her expanded role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Mean Girls star will reprise her role as Dr Christine Palmer from the 2016 film Doctor Strange, which saw her feature as a former flame of the eponymous hero, played by Benedict Cumberbatch.<\/p>\n

As suspected from trailers for the film, Rachel McAdams will also portray a variant of her character Christine.<\/p>\n

Empire<\/a> magazine reports that we will see a much more \u201cinvolved\u201d and \u201cvery different\u201d Christine from another world after her smaller turn in the first film.<\/p>\n

McAdams told them: \u201cI wasn\u2019t just wearing scrubs this time around. I was certainly part of things I\u2019ve never seen on-screen.\u201d<\/p>

Meanwhile, producer Richie Palmer commented on what Strange is going through in the new sequel, facing heartache as he watches the Christine of his world marry someone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s maddening for Doctor Strange to have to watch the love of his life marry someone else,\u201d revealed Palmer.<\/p>\n

The magazine notes that Stephen Strange is \u201cmoping\u201d as Christine prepares to marry, which fans had a glimpse of in the trailer.<\/p>\n

The husband-to-be for Christine has yet to be revealed, but she is not marrying former partner Stephen.<\/p>\n

Could the alternate version of Christine be part of the much-rumoured appearance of Marvel Comics\u2019 Illuminati?<\/a> We shall have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

Alongside Cumberbatch and McAdams, the film also stars Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch\/Wanda Maximoff, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo, Benedict Wong as Wong, Michael Stuhlbarg as Dr Nicodemus West, and newcomer Xochitl Gomez as multiversal heroine America Chavez.<\/p>\n

Finally, Sir Patrick Stewart will also star in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness but his role remains shrouded in mystery, prompting a few theories<\/a>.<\/p>\n
