Benedict Cumberbatch enjoyed revisiting Nepal to film 'Doctor Strange'

Actor Benedict Cumberbatch says he had a great time while shooting Doctor Strange in Nepal.

The 40-year-old actor visited South Asia for the first time while on his gap year and had a fantastic time returning to Kathmandu to shoot scenes for the Marvel film, reported Female First.

"It was amazing to go back to Kathmandu, to a place that was familiar but very different. The earthquake happened seven months before we went and I was adamant we still had to forge ahead with filming there. It was fantastic," Cumberbatch said.

The British actor said he also enjoyed the spiritual aspects to the story.

"The thing that resonated in Doctor Strange was the power of the mind to shape reality. I think people in all cultures have always needed beliefs. Wherever we lie on the spiritual spectrum, we'll always wonder."
