Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
In the latest issue of D3 Magazine (via The Direct), Rachel McAdams confirmed Christine Palmer is no longer romantically involved with Stephen Strange.
They are not back together, unfortunately… as we saw at the end of Doctor Strange, he chose to stay in the Sanctum, meaning he can’t entertain his selfish desires. He would’ve loved to stay with Christine at the end of that movie, but he did the hard thing. He said, ‘No. I’m going to be a Super Hero and defend our reality. I have to move on. Our movie shows him dealing with the decisions he’s made. He might regret how things ended with Christine; he still carries a torch for her.
