Benedict Cumberbatch Tells All on Doctor Strange’s Future, His New Sundance Film and Not Being Your Typical Movie Star: ‘I’m Not Brad, I’m Not Leo’
As Benedict Cumberbatch heads to Park City to premiere a new Sundance drama, he tells all on his Marvel future and indie ambitions as a producer.
Undeterred, he shares that things changed when Jonathan Majors — whose character, Kang, was intended to serve as the main antagonist of the next phase of the comic book film franchise — was fired in 2024 after being convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend. Most of them, like “Roses” and “The Thing With Feathers,” were developed and made through SunnyMarch, the production company Cumberbatch launched in 2013 with the goal of nurturing the kind of bespoke, offbeat fare that Hollywood doesn’t support. Over the past decade and change, the company has backed and developed an impressive range of projects, from the Showtime series “Patrick Melrose” to “We Live in Time,” a romantic drama that became a box office hit last fall for A24.
