So, I did a little bit of studying on brain surgeons and then shadowed a few surgeons.

We had a really great surgeon on set who showed me how to do stitches.

So, thats exciting!

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What attracted you to the role?

RACHEL McADAMS:I was very drawn to Scotts passion for the project.

Scott is a self-proclaimed comic book nerd to the Nth degree.

He was like a giddy kid half the time on the set.

It just delighted him to no end.

Its nice to work with someone whos so passionate and going ga-ga over what theyre doing.

That was always fun.

And I was so excited to work with Benedict.

And Scott was interested in not having the typical guy-meets girl relationship.

They do such cool stuff.

Tell me more about your character.

Stephen is a little bit more clinical and practical about it.

We still have a very good friendship and relationship.

Were you jealous of your colleagues at all?

Well, there were certainly a lot of medical professionals there, if anything had gone wrong.

I wouldnt have jumped in myself.

Youre just an actor.

So, you try and keep that in check.

you’re able to see the trailer forDoctor Strange, below.
