Opening the Multiverse
Doctor Strange marks one of Marvel’s leaps into a new era of comic-book movies, and Cumberbatch expresses excitement at being a part of this shift.
He enthuses, “That’s incredibly exciting. You’ve got the combination of a great character arc, a lot of action, a lot of humour and some hard-earned moments of heroism in this environment which is going to blow people’s minds.”
Of course, this changing scene doesn’t come without its naysayers; what does Cumberbatch have to say to them?
“People often say that the frame is a little crowded with the amount of characters there are in Avengers films. Well, the frame is going to get a lot bigger with these characters so there’ll be room for all of us. And I can’t wait to interact with all these characters.”
