The one thing 'Doctor Strange' and Benedict Cumberbatch have in common!
The Brit felt the role of Sorcerer Supreme is a challenging one
Benedict Cumberbatch says he was challenged to step out of his comfort zone when he took on the role of Marvel superhero Doctor Strange.
The 40-year-old actor, who stars as the Marvel superhero in the hotly-anticipated movie, has teased the film will feature him doing "action hero stuff on a level" he never has before, reported Contactmusic.
"People ask me what I have in common with my character and I feel that's really it. I was having to do action hero stuff on a level I've never done before and wire work and kung-fu moves and casting these spells. Amazing movements like tutting with the fingers and all these delicate hand movements, as well as body posturing. I was learning that as much as my character was, so both of us were stepping out of our comfort zone so that's something I could draw on for the characterisation," Cumberbatch said.
