The initial reports around Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had claimed that Rachel McAdams would not be a part of the movie. Fans who had loved her bond with Doctor Strange, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, had expressed their displeasure on social media at that time.  

This report was then dismissed, and the makers also confirmed that she would be reprising her character Christine Palmer. There was a glimpse of her new look in the trailer, and an image of her new costume had then surfaced late last year. However, not much is clear about the exact manner in which her character would be a part of the proceedings.
