According to a report via Batman on Film, Rachel McAdams may be offered a role in the upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight.

Batman on Film writes:

Last week, several websites, namely my friends over at MOVIEHOLE.NET, mentioned that Rachel McAdams has been rumored for a part in TDK. McAdams was also said to be up for the role of "Pepper Potts" in IRON MAN. Well, according to McAdams fansite RACHELONLINE.NET, McAdams' publicist has shot down the IRON MAN rumor. What does this have to do with TDK? Probably nothing, but since 2007 is fast approaching, we'll find out soon enough...

Just speculating here, but IF McAdams does snag a role in TDK, what part will it be? What does this mean for the Rachel Dawes character and Katie Holmes returning?

The report was posted before the news that Katie Holmes had turned down the role of Rachel Dawes, thus further feeding the speculation that she may be up for either the role of Rachel Dawes or a different female character.


KJ's Take:  I don't think McAdams would play the role of Dawes, as that was meant to be a very small role and will likely be written out of the script with the departure of Holmes.  I could however see McAdams playing a different female character in Batman's life, but I wouldn't count on it.
