The leading roles have not stopped since then. She’s appeared in box office hits of every genre, including “The Family Stone,” “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” “Sherlock Holmes,” “Midnight in Paris,” “Spotlight,” and Marvel’s “Doctor Strange.”
In 2015, she played hardened Detective Ani Bezzides on Season 3 of HBO’s “True Detective,” alongside Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell, and Taylor Kitsch.
In 2016, McAdams was awarded a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Academy Award nomination for her performance in “Spotlight.” In 2020, she sang alongside Will Ferrell in the heartwarming comedy “Eurovision Song Contest,” and Good Housekeeping reports at least a part of the vocals used were her own.
The Toronto native can next be seen in the upcoming MCU installment, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and rumors of a “Wedding Crashers” sequel have fans calling for her return.
