Rachel McAdams confirmed her involvement in "Doctor Strange" at Toronto International Film Festival, Comic Book Resources reported.
"I'm gonna go do 'Doctor Strange' [for] Marvel, kind of a psychedelic Marvel comic, yeah, with Benedict Cumberbatch. I'm really looking forward to that," she revealed.
"The Notebook" star has however, failed to reveal what role is she going to portray.
But according to Vanity Fair, McAdams would most likely the role of Clea, Strange's love interest who is equally magical.
Other possibilities are the Night Nurse from the 2006 limited series, "The Oath," and Morgana Blessing, Strange's long-time lover, who was first introduced in 1981.
"Though there has been no official confirmation from Marvel, the likeliest character for McAdams is a magically gifted woman named Clea, which means not only would McAdams be romancing Cumberbatch's Stephen Strange, she would also match the Sorcerer Supreme mystical gesture for mystical gesture," the publication claimed.
Marvel is reportedly actively gearing up to expand its Cinematic Univers and the upcoming "Doctor Strange" movie will serve as a start of this expansion.
In an interview with Screen Rant, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige shared the details.

"And starting a couple years ago with 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' this year with 'Ant-Man,' next year with 'Doctor Strange' continuing to push the boundaries of that cinematic universe."
"With Strange, it is a classic Marvel origin story because he's got one of the best origins ever. And it's our opportunity to take that left turn into the supernatural," Feige added in separate statement.
Marvel's "Doctor Strange" movie release date is set on Nov. 4, 2016.
