A rumor from Latino Review reported that Rachel McAdams won't play the role of Clea, but the role of Christine Palmer, one of the three nurses from Marvel's Night Nurse. The reason why they hinted at Nurse Christine Palmer and not the more recognizable Linda Carter, is that Palmer is a surgeon assistant and would be in contradiction to Dr. Stephen Strange’s surgeon.
