Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
“Casino Royale” star Eva Green has been a fan favorite choice for a gender-swapped version of the villain Nightmare for Sam Raimi’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”. Asked about the possibility and rumors of her casting, she shot them down point blank: “Me? No! Not that I know of. Not at all. I like the humour in them. I saw the trailer for Black Widow. I’d like to see that one.” [Source: CBM]
