Benedict Cumberbatch recently expressed his thoughts in an interview on his upcoming film Avengers: Infinity War. The actor reprises the role of surgeon-turned-sorcerer Doctor Stephen Strange in the Marvel superhero movie. Speaking about the film, he said, “I’m not supposed to have read the script. But I have. It’s just mind-blowingly epic. What I thought is, this just doesn’t stop. Once it starts, it does. Not. Stop. It’s just this horrible, brilliant, terrifying, at times funny, at times very moving, relentless action. It’s like everyone’s constantly in crisis, and catching up with themselves, and it’s really breathless to read a script like that. This isn’t a slow burn. You’re really thrown in helter-skelter. [Laughs] It’s got a lot of facets to it, but I think the main one for me was just how utterly relentless the events and action were.”
When asked about the involvement of his character Doctor Strange in the film, he said, “I can’t really say. He’s pretty actively involved, he’s got quite an important Infinity Stone that’s in his vicinity, and that draws him into the action, as well as a couple of other characters’ plights and stuff happens.”
Talking about the relationship dynamic between Dr. Strange and Tony Stark, he asserted, “There’s a lot of interesting dynamic. They don’t always attract. So, sparks will hopefully fly, but at the same time, they’re united by a purpose that’s bigger than either of them, so they get their game on, put it that way. But, yeah, there are a few one-liners along the way.”
