Benedict Cumberbatch Says Sherlock Would Have to Be 'Better Than It Ever Was' for Him to Reprise the Role

Benedict Cumberbatch revealed whether he'd reprise his iconic role in 'Sherlock'. The actor said he has "that itch" sometimes, but it would have to be "better than it ever was" to return to the character.

The actor, 48, recently spoke with Variety about his new film, The Thing With Feathers, and reflected on some of his most memorable past projects. During a fan event in Australia while the show was still airing, Cumberbatch remembered noting that he wasn’t tying himself down to that one character. Now, Cumberbatch is focused primarily on the production company he founded in 2013, called SunnyMarch, so he can produce work that is meaningful to him.
