Benedict Cumberbatch on 'Doctor Strange 2' director change: I was sad

<p>Benedict Cumberbatch&nbsp;starrer&nbsp;'The Power Of The Dog' recently premiered at the Venice Film Festival and the audience hooted and cheered with a four-minute standing ovation.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Now Benedict opened up about his role during the Telluride Film Festival and discussed the straight actors playing gay roles&nbsp;in the movie.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The 45-year-old actor played the character of rancher Phil Burbank, who strikes up a relationship with Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee).</p>

&nbsp;<br />
“I feel very sensitive about representation, diversity, and inclusion,” Cumberbatch said at the Telluride Film Festival, as per reports. “One of the appeals of the job was the idea that in this world, with this specific character, there was a lot that was private, hidden from view.”<br />
<br />
“It wasn’t done without thought,” he said. “I also feel slightly like, is this a thing where our dance card has to be public? Do we have to explain all our private moments in our sexual history? I don’t think so.” He added.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Further talking, Benedict added, “Jane (director) chose us as actors to play those roles. That’s her question to answer.”<br />
<br />
This is not the first time when Marvel star is playing a queer character, before this, the actor has played a gay man --&nbsp;portraying Alan Turing in 'The Imitation Game.</p>

The 25-year-old McPhee is also a straight man, said that there's a lot he relates with the role of Peter, and added, “I would say that there’s a lot in Peter that I relate to,” Smit-McPhee said. “Sure, I’m a straight man, but I’m extremely in touch with my feminine side. I was raised by my mother and my sister. Of course, my dad has a huge masculine influence on my life but he could never really take me away from the feminine side that I just intrinsically have in myself. It was just a matter of bringing it out… and letting it be in the world. It was a really experimental but beautiful thing to do.”<br />

'The Power of the Dog' teaser: Benedict Cumberbatch's conniving act leaves fans hooting

<p>The wait is finally over for SpiderMan fans as Marvel and Sony dropped the first official trailer of the much-awaited ‘SpiderMan: No Way Home’ trailer. This comes a day after hackers leaked the official trailer on the internet with fans sharing and resharing it within a couple of minutes. However, Sony got into action soon enough and swiped a copyright strike, with effect taking down the trailer within minutes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The trailer release also poked fun at the leak as the official Twitter account for the film wrote, “Shout-out to the real ones who are watching the trailer for the first time right now.”</p>

<p>SpiderMan: No Way Home trailer was shared by Sony Motion Pictures Group CEO Tom Rothman who introduced the trailer with remarks from Tom Holland and Benedict Cumberbatch. The clip sees Peter Parker face his most brutal foe to date — the past.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The trailer is as good as the fans expected it to be and confirms the multiverse plot with Tom Holland getting together with villains of previous Spider-Man cinematic franchises.</p>

<p>This means you will get to see Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus, Jamie Foxx’s Electro, and Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin -- all in this film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zendaya will reprise her role as MJ, Jacob Batalon is back as Ned Leeds, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, Benedict Wong as Wong and Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Spider-Man: No Way Home has Jon Watts return as director for his third installment in the Tom Holland series.</p>

<p>Benedict Cumberbatch is set to star in Netflix`s upcoming limited series `The 39 Steps`, based on the 1915 John Buchan novel of the same name.<br />
<br />
According to&nbsp;Variety, the forthcoming series will be helmed by Edward Berger and written by Mark L. Smith. The series will reunite Cumberbatch and Berger, who last worked together on Showtime`s 2018 mini-series `Patrick Melrose`.The at least six-hour series will be produced by Anonymous Content, Chapter One Pictures, and SunnyMarch, the UK-based film and TV production company founded by Cumberbatch, Adam Ackland and Adam Selves.<br />
<br />
`The 39 Steps` has already been adapted several times, most famously by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935, starring Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll. Buchan`s original spy thriller takes place just before the outset of World War I, focussing on Richard Hannay, a man who comes into possession of a key to a global conspiracy and goes on the run.Meanwhile, Cumberbatch was most recently seen in `The Mauritanian`, and remains in the thick of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with this year`s `Spider-Man: No Way Home` and 2022`s `Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness`.<br />
<br />
Berger recently directed three episodes of Showtime`s Bryan Cranston drama `Your Honor` and is currently helming `All Quiet on the Western Front`.Netflix has been successful in attracting eyeballs to its limited series in recent years, most notably with `The Queen`s Gambit` and `When They See Us`.<br />
<br />
In December, the streamer ordered another limited series, this one from Sweden -- `The Unlikely Murderer`, based on Thomas Pettersson`s 2018 novel. The five-part series, which is set to release this year, is penned by Wilhelm Behrman and Niklas Rockstrom, with `The Witcher` director Charlotte Brandstrom helming the first two episodes.&nbsp;</p>

The Marvel star shut down all the rumours about him to play the villain in either the third season of 'The Mandalorian' or the 'Star Wars: Ahsoka' series.<br />
<br />
By talking about it, the British star said that he is not interested in the part, "That's a straight no from me, right now. There's no way I want to be turned blue. I turned the air blue, very recently," he joked.<br />
<br />
"No no, seriously, I have precious time with my children and I think sitting in a make-up chair and being painted blue, and the amount of time it would take to do that and then take it off at the end of the day might just… it's not the right time in my life for that."<br />
<br />
The speculation started after the character Ahsoka Tano mentioned Thrawn in an episode of 'The Mandalorian', and that created hope that the character might appear in the next season of the Star Wars TV show.&nbsp;<br />

Introduced in the 1991 novel 'Heir to the Empire', an Imperial military commander Thrawn took over the Empire after the death of Emperor Palpatine in 'Return of the Jedi'. He was seen in the third season of the 3D CGI animated television series 'Star Wars: Rebels'.<br />

The speculation started after the character Ahsoka Tano mentioned Thrawn in an episode of 'The Mandalorian', and that created hope that the character might appear in the next season of the Star Wars TV show. Introduced in the 1991 novel 'Heir to the Empire', an Imperial military commander Thrawn took over the Empire after the death of Emperor Palpatine in 'Return of the Jedi'. He was seen in the third season of the 3D CGI animated television series 'Star Wars: Rebels'. He is currently filming 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'

<p>It’s been two decades now but the legal aftermath of 9/11 attacks still persists as ‘The Mauriatarian’ trailer follows the story of Jodie Foster’s Nancy Hollander who attempts to legally defend and represent one of the men accused of facilitating the attack -- &nbsp;Mohamedou Ould Slahi.</p>

<p>Joined by her associate Teri Duncan (Shailene Woodley), Hollander must endure federal skepticism to ensure a just decision and get her client out of the harsh conditions of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.</p>

<p>Perhaps one of the most important events of 2018, Brexit will completely change&nbsp;the fabric of the UK's economy.</p>

<p>And while its impact is still to be understood full, HBO has created a drama on it. Titled 'Brexit', the movie's trailer was recently released.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film has Benedict Cumberbatch playing the man — Dominic Cummings — who orchestrated the "Vote Leave"&nbsp;campaign. Cummings was the Vote Leave campaign director from its creation in October 2015.</p>

<p>The trailer has Cumberbatch playing the 'man behind Brexit', who goes around asking questions to the people of UK and creating an awareness about why the country had to leave the European Union. &nbsp;“Is it immigration? You can be honest. Is it race? Which countries don’t you like?” Cumberbatch can be seen asking.&nbsp;</p>

'Brexit' trailer: Benedict Cumberbatch plays man behind the 'Vote Leave' campaign

<p>British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, known for his portrayal of fictional crime-fighter Sherlock Holmes and comic book superhero Doctor Strange in the Marvel movies, has been hailed a hero for chasing away four assailants as they mugged a cyclist in London.</p>

<p>Cumberbatch, 41, jumped out of his taxi and ran to the aid of the man working for food delivery company Deliveroo as he was set upon by the muggers, the Sun newspaper reported.</p>

<p>"The cyclist was lucky, Benedict's a superhero," Cumberbatch's Uber driver Manuel Dias told the Sun. "Benedict was courageous, brave and selfless. If he hadn't stepped in the cyclist could have been seriously injured."</p>

<p>The attempted robbery took place on Marylebone High Street, just around the corner from Holmes' fictional home on Baker Street.</p>

<p>"One of the males attempted to grab the victim's cycle ... He was then punched in the face, struck on the head and hit with his helmet," the Metropolitan Police said in a statement, adding that the incident took place in November last year.</p>

<p>This sure will give the whole discussion about pay gap more boost. British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who was recently seen in Avengers: Infinity War has said he will not say yes to a film if the makers are not offering equal pay to his female co-stars.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Equal pay and a place at the table are the central tenets of feminism," Cumberbatch told Radio Times magazine.<br />
<br />
"Look at your quotas. Ask what women are being paid, and say: 'If she's not paid the same as the men, I'm not doing it."<br />
<br />
The 41-year-old British actor also said he will be using his position in the industry, and his new production company, SunnyMarch, to support more female-focused dramas.<br />
<br />
"I'm proud that (partner) Adam (Ackland) and I are the only men in our production company our next project is a female story with a female lens about motherhood, in a time of environmental disaster.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"If it's centred around my name, to get investors, then we can use that attention for a raft of female projects. Half the audience is female!" he said.</p>

Benedict Cumberbatch will turn down films if his female co-stars are not paid the same

<p>He is one of the few stars who knows how the story of "Avengers: Infinity War" unfolds, but do not expect any spoilers from Benedict Cumberbatch as he says he is good at "keeping secrets".</p>

<p>The 41-year-old actor, who plays Doctor Strange in the much-awaited movie, said it was not a curious fan in him, but an old-school performer that demanded the script from Marvel.<br />
<br />
"I am kind of old-school in terms of filmmaking. I don't know how I managed to get the complete script. I am good at keeping secrets. As a fan, I didn't want to know what was going on, but as a character I had to understand the bracket in which I had to be operating. I had more reasons, other than curiosity," Cumberbatch said in a group interview here.<br />
<br />
Marvel has been very guarded throughout the production of "Infinity War". So much so that directors Joe and Anthony Russo kept the full script out of the stars' hands only providing them with their scenes.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the worldwide promotional campaign of the film, the duo also put out a letter appealing to the fans to keep spoilers to themselves.<br />
<br />
Cumberbatch said reading the script made no difference as he is confident that there will be many more surprises for him when he finally catches the film at its premiere.</p>

<p>"It doesn't make a difference. I will be sitting in the premiere and going like, 'Did I read that?'. A Marvel film is never what it is on script and that's what the joy is. There is a great fluidity and improvisation," he said.<br />
<br />
Set to release on April 27, "Infinity War" is the biggest superhero saga to be witnessed by the audiences ever, with fan favourites such as Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, the Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Black Panther among others, joining forces to defeat the most powerful villain, Thanos.<br />
<br />
And while fans are curious as to who emerges unharmed in the climax, Cumberbatch said the film is all about staying "united".<br />
<br />
"We strongly stand together. 'We are united' that's what the feeling you get from the Avengers. It is about putting away your differences and uniting. These Marvel films always bring people together. They always have science, logic, social and political tones. This one is about 'United We Stand'."<br />
<br />
The actor said working on the film was a "big deal" for him as a number of people have devoted their lives in creating this magical universe of superheroes which inspires generations.<br />
<br />
"This film is a big deal. This doesn't happen every day. Making this film may be just 10 years of the talents' life, but years of work by many people to get to this place. It is pretty hard. I am like 'holy crap? To be a part of something like this extraordinary without repeating'," he said.<br />
<br />
"I went to dinner of the Avengers and there I realised that many people have given their lives and families and their children to make it a huge success. It was incredible to see the first clip of the film at D23 (Expo). I was pretending not to cry thinking that it would be it be a little bit hysterical. It was generally very moving not just because of the arc of the story but the time people have invested in this unique enterprise," the actor added.<br />
<br />
The British star was at his wittiest best as he promoted the Russo Brothers-directed film here.<br />
<br />
Staying true to his English sense of humour, the actor said if given a chance, he would like to play Groot from the "Guardians of the Galaxy" as it is "like a walk in the park".<br />
<br />
He also shared that it took him around two-and-a-half hours to get ready for his role of Doctor Strange.<br />
<br />
"I watch Netflix during that time. I eat when they are putting make-up and that drives them crazy. It is difficult. Also, I meditate a lot at that time," he added.<br />
<br />
Earlier in the day, during a press conference, Cumberbatch and Iron Man Robert Downey Jr left everyone in splits when they were asked if they ever shared a "Sherlock" joke on the sets.<br />
<br />
To which Cumberbatch funnily replied, "There wasn't any joke and I hope there isn't any in future."<br />
<br />
Downey Jr played the legendary detective in 2009 film "Sherlock Holmes" and its 2011 sequel, while Cumberbatch essayed the title role in a crime drama TV series based on Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective stories.</p>

'Avengers: Infinity War': Marvel's biggest cast assemble till date

<p>Marvel brought thousands of fans to their feet on Saturday as it assembled a stellar panel of superheroes to preview &quot;Avengers: Infinity War&quot; at Disney&#39;s D23 convention.</p>

<p>The movie, which comes out next year, unites the characters from all 16 films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- and most of the actors who play them took the stage at the star-studded fan event in Anaheim, southern California. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The packed 7,000-capacity convention hall cheered as Josh Brolin, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle and Benedict Cumberbatch were introduced one by one.</p>

<p>Tom Holland, Benicio del Toro, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Anthony Mackie, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff and Chadwick Boseman and co-director Joe Russo were also part of the star-studded panel.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;I&#39;ve got to admit, these guys have not been together on stage for a long time, and even I find myself geeking out,&quot; said Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige before introducing world-first &quot;Infinity Wars&quot; teaser footage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The movie opens in May 2018 -- the 10th anniversary of the US release of the original Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, &quot;Iron Man.&quot;</p>

<p>&quot;It&#39;s funny to think Kevin and I figured all of this out at Randy&#39;s Donuts shooting &#39;Iron Man 2,&#39;&quot; quipped Downey, who plays the titular superhero.</p>

<p>The panel was part of a presentation of the next two years of live-action movies from Disney, which owns Marvel and Lucasfilm.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>&#39;Unexpected elements&#39;</strong></p>

<p>Lucasfilm&#39;s &quot;Star Wars&quot; panel has become one of the most talked-about panels at the biennial D23. But here were no new announcements or footage this time around.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 2018 Han Solo spin-off movie, which fired directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller in favour of Oscar-winning Ron Howard last month, was largely glossed over, with no cast appearances or footage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But Rian Johnson, who directed the forthcoming eighth installment of the main series, &quot;The Last Jedi,&quot; delighted fans by introducing much of the cast, including Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Gwendoline Christie.</p>

<p>Johnson introduced a behind-the-scenes featurette and interviewed the cast on their experiences filming in Pinewood Studios, near London, and on Ireland&#39;s west coast.</p>

<p>&quot;When I read the script there were so many unexpected elements, which is great in a &#39;Star Wars&#39; film,&quot; said Hamill, who came on last to a rapt standing ovation. &quot;It&#39;s getting harder and harder to bring new things to the table and this is a real game changer.&quot;</p>

<p>Another highlight was a section offering news and footage from the studio&#39;s upcoming animation to live-action slate, including remakes of &quot;The Lion King,&quot; Mulan,&quot; &quot;Aladdin&quot; and &quot;Dumbo.&quot;</p>

<p>The crowd was on its feet again after seeing a stunning first clip from &quot;The Lion King,&quot; climaxing in the iconic moment when Rafiki introduces newborn Simba to the animals of the savannah.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>&#39;Respectful&#39;</strong></p>

<p>&quot;This is a story that belongs to everyone who grew up with the original film,&quot; said Jon Favreau, who directed the movie, due to hit theaters in July 2019. &quot;I wanted to demonstrate that we could be respectful of the source material while bringing it to life using new techniques and technologies.&quot;</p>

<p>Disney announced newcomer Mena Massoud in the titular role for Guy Ritchie&#39;s &quot;Aladdin,&quot; which reboots the 1992 animated classic, and Will Smith as the genie.</p>

<p>Disney also revealed that production is underway for the live-action reimagining of its 1941 animated classic &quot;Dumbo,&quot; slated for release in March 2019.</p>

<p>The movie is being directed by Tim Burton (&quot;Alice in Wonderland,&quot; &quot;Charlie and the Chocolate Factory&quot;) and stars Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Eva Green.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Burton, who is starting production in England, addressed the D23 crowd via a video clip in which he described &quot;Dumbo&quot; as &quot;one of my favorite of the Disney movies.&quot;</p>

<p>Disney also showcased &quot;Nutcracker and the Four Realms,&quot; starring Misty Copeland, and &quot;A Wrinkle in Time,&quot; an epic adventure directed by Ava DuVernay and starring Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine and debutante Storm Reid, all of whom appeared onstage.</p>

<p>British actress Emily Blunt talked about playing the practically-perfect nanny in &quot;Mary Poppins Returns,&quot; a sequel to the iconic 1964 original that hits theaters on December 25 next year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;I needed to try to pay homage to Julie Andrews but carve out a new space for myself. And we were very loyal to the books,&quot; said Blunt.&nbsp;</p>

The packed 7,000-capacity convention hall cheered as Josh Brolin, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle and Benedict Cumberbatch were introduced one by one. Tom Holland, Benicio del Toro, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Anthony Mackie, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff and Chadwick Boseman and co-director Joe Russo were also part of the star-studded panel. "I've got to admit, these guys have not been together on stage for a long time, and even I find myself geeking out," said Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige before introducing world-first "Infinity Wars" teaser footage. The movie opens in May 2018 -- the 10th anniversary of the US release of the original Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, "Iron Man." "It's funny to think Kevin and I figured all of this out at Randy's Donuts shooting 'Iron Man 2,'" quipped Downey, who plays the titular superhero. The panel was part of a presentation of the next two years of live-action movies from Disney, which owns Marvel and Lucasfilm. 'Unexpected elements' Lucasfilm's "Star Wars" panel has become one of the most talked-about panels at the biennial D23. But here were no new announcements or footage this time around. The 2018 Han Solo spin-off movie, which fired directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller in favour of Oscar-winning Ron Howard last month, was largely glossed over, with no cast appearances or footage. But Rian Johnson, who directed the forthcoming eighth installment of the main series, "The Last Jedi," delighted fans by introducing much of the cast, including Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Gwendoline Christie. Johnson introduced a behind-the-scenes featurette and interviewed the cast on their experiences filming in Pinewood Studios, near London, and on Ireland's west coast. "When I read the script there were so many unexpected elements, which is great in a 'Star Wars' film," said Hamill, who came on last to a rapt standing ovation. "It's getting harder and harder to bring new things to the table and this is a real game changer." Another highlight was a section offering news and footage from the studio's upcoming animation to live-action slate, including remakes of "The Lion King," Mulan," "Aladdin" and "Dumbo." The crowd was on its feet again after seeing a stunning first clip from "The Lion King," climaxing in the iconic moment when Rafiki introduces newborn Simba to the animals of the savannah. 'Respectful' "This is a story that belongs to everyone who grew up with the original film," said Jon Favreau, who directed the movie, due to hit theaters in July 2019. "I wanted to demonstrate that we could be respectful of the source material while bringing it to life using new techniques and technologies." Disney announced newcomer Mena Massoud in the titular role for Guy Ritchie's "Aladdin," which reboots the 1992 animated classic, and Will Smith as the genie. Disney also revealed that production is underway for the live-action reimagining of its 1941 animated classic "Dumbo," slated for release in March 2019. The movie is being directed by Tim Burton ("Alice in Wonderland," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory") and stars Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Eva Green. Burton, who is starting production in England, addressed the D23 crowd via a video clip in which he described "Dumbo" as "one of my favorite of the Disney movies." Disney also showcased "Nutcracker and the Four Realms," starring Misty Copeland, and "A Wrinkle in Time," an epic adventure directed by Ava DuVernay and starring Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine and debutante Storm Reid, all of whom appeared onstage. British actress Emily Blunt talked about playing the practically-perfect nanny in "Mary Poppins Returns," a sequel to the iconic 1964 original that hits theaters on December 25 next year. "I needed to try to pay homage to Julie Andrews but carve out a new space for myself. And we were very loyal to the books," said Blunt.
