10 Actors Who Were Criminally Wasted In Famous Movies
9. Rachel McAdams - Doctor Strange
The minute fans got wind of the all-star cast that would be tasked with bringing the first-ever Doctor Strange live action feature to life, it's safe to say that expectations were rather high.
Alongside the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mads Mikkelsen, and Tilda Swinton, the powerhouse that is Rachel McAdams was also drafted into the MCU monster. Disappointingly, though, the star of The Notebook didn't grab the headlines in the same way her co-stars did in the wake of the feature's undoubted success.
In short, she wasn't really given a chance to. Being given the bland position of "superhero love interest" for the most part, McAdams was by no means terrible in the mystical Marvel movie, she just didn't live long in the memory. And for an actor as versatile and consistently outstanding as McAdams, that isn't something fans are used to experiencing.
In fact, a number of folks were so deflated after seeing her wasted turn that some even suggested McAdams should be re-introduced to the universe as a completely different character later down the line.
With the multiverse no doubt being fully unleashed in the Strange sequel, though, there may be a new, more engaging life for Christine Palmer yet.
