It’s a big weekend for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Doctor Strange returns with a new movie by director Sam Raimi, his first in nine miserable years. But even more importantly, in perhaps the biggest news to hit the MCU since someone decided that we had to show those Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies some respect, Rachel McAdams has come home.
Appearing for the first time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2016, McAdams reprises her role as fan-favorite Dr. Christine Palmers. While fans and action figure manufacturers alike have been demanding the return of Dr. Palmers, McAdams thought she was a one-and-done MCU veteran.
