The future of Rachel McAdams’ tenure in the MCU remains uncertain. In “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” her Earth-616 variant was briefly seen in a wedding scene, while her Earth-838 variant seemingly stayed behind in her world. Although the most probable return for Christine Palmer would be in “Doctor Strange 3,” there is a chance she could make appearances earlier in the ongoing Multiverse Saga or when Phase 7 of the MCU begins. With the exploration of the Multiverse expanding in projects like “Deadpool 3,” McAdams may find herself back on the big screen in the MCU sooner than expected. Additionally, her character made an appearance in Season 1, Episode 4 of the animated series “What If…?,” potentially paving the way for her return in the show’s second season.
