When Sam Raimi signed on to direct “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” it was a surprise because prior to that, the filmmaker hadn’t directed a film in nearly a decade, since 2013. Now, after ‘Multiverse of Madness,’ it appears the filmmaker is not ready to rest on his laurels again, and he’s found one of his ‘Doctor Strange’ stars to join him.

According to Deadline, Rachel McAdams is in talks to star in Sam Raimi’s new film, “Send Help.” Exact plot details are unknown at this time, but the report claims the film is a bit of a mixture between “Misery” and “Castaway.” The film is written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift.
As mentioned, Raimi and McAdams both worked together on the Marvel film, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” But obviously, that’s not all McAdams is known for. She’s also appeared in films such as “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,” “Game Night,” and “Spotlight.” The latter of which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
