Rachel McAdams says Doctor Strange is not going to be like other Marvel films

December 3, 2015 by Gary Collinson

With filming on Doctor Strange now well underway, Rachel McAdams (True Detective) has spoken briefly about the Phase Three movie, praising director Scott Derrickson and suggesting that it will be a unique entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“I just love the director,” McAdams tells MTV. “I met with Scott Derrickson] and loved his vision, he was so passionate. And the opportunity to work with Benedict was kind of a no-brainer. And Marvel makes amazing films, so it was a complete package. It’s definitely not going to be like any of the other films.”
