A new poster has been spotted for the upcoming Marvel film, "Doctor Strange," and it shows a full look at Benedict Cumberbatch in full sorcerer gear.

Twitter user Cooper Hood (@CooperMCEUEx) uploaded a picture of the poster on Twitter. Though the picture was not really in best quality, fans can expect an official release from Marvel before the movie comes out in November.

In other news, GeekTyrant reports that Rachel McAdams' (previously rumored) role as Christine Palmer has been confirmed. To those who are unfamiliar with Palmer's character, she is known as the Night Nurse in the comics, and she treats the injuries of battered superheroes after a night of crime-fighting.

Some fans may be confused with this casting, as Rosario Dawson is currently playing the Night Nurse in Marvel's Netflix Universe. Yet, according to the showrunners, Dawson's character Claire Temple is not the official name of the Night Nurse in the comics, but she is very much that character.

The official name of the Night Nurse is Christine Palmer, so could this mean a turning of the tables? Maybe Temple is the official Night Nurse of the MCU, and McAdams' role is merely an easter egg â€” who's to say? It has been noted by fans, however, that though the Netflix Universe makes constant nods to the cinematic one, the movie universe has barely even mentioned anything happening in the TV series. Is the MCU willing to sacrifice the TV series continuity by making McAdams the Night Nurse? Only time will tell.

"Doctor Strange" will follow the story of brilliant neurosurgeon Stephen Strange who, after a tragic car accident, loses the use of his hands. He then embarks on a journey to learn the ancient ways of magic and mysticism and protect the world from what lies beyond.

"Doctor Strange" is set to release Nov. 4.
