Rachel McAdams' role "“ first official details

For quite a while, it was rumored that Rachel McAdams will portray Clea, who is a disciple and lover of Doctor Strange. At the same time, this character is also the niece of the aforementioned Dormammu, which makes her relationship with Strange even more interesting.

But now these rumors can be put to rest, since the same Entertainment Weekly brought the first official details about the character. Here is what Kevin Feige says about her role: "Rachel McAdams plays a fellow surgeon that has a history with Strange and is his sort of lynchpin to his old life, once he steps into his role of a sorcerer. She is someone he connects with at the beginning, and reconnects with, and helps anchor his humanity.”

So she is Clea in no way "“ and she has no magical powers, other than the one to save lives in the OR. Can she be an updated version of the Night Nurse from the comics? It isn't very likely, since this role goes to Rosario Dawson in the Netflix TV shows (Daredevil and Jessica Jones). However, there is a slight possibility, since the TV version contains just a fraction of the Night Nurse from the comics. As the showrunner of Daredevil said, they couldn't use the character entirely, because Feige had plans for her in the MCU, down the road.

Benedict Cumberbatch also revealed that Rachel McAdams' character will be something like a love interest.
