It's fantastic. Benedict Cumberbatch doctorsrolesmean If I'm playing someone who's smart, suddenly every character I've played is smart. If I'm playing a bad guy, every character is a bad guy. I suppose it's that thing where people want to see a through-line to understand you. I mean, you know, I have played pretty ordinary people too. Benedict Cumberbatch smartcharactermean Sherlock [Holmes] is on the side of the angels, but don't think he's one of them.

Benedict Cumberbatch wealthclassmean Sometimes during a conversation with a journalist - where you are answering things you never normally talk about, not even with some of your closest friends - you end up being quite confessional, and you don't think about the amplification of that. No matter how fancy these journalists are, they have editors or political leanings behind their publications, which means that, basically, they're going to shape what you've said into an article they've already written. So you have to be really careful with your words. Benedict Cumberbatch politicalmeanthinking I've never done a lead role in a film this big [like Doctor Strange], in a franchise this big.

On the one hand, if I called myself a Catholic it would have to be a very unorthodox one, as I just don't believe all of the teachings of the Church. But on the other hand, I'm an educated man because the Catholic Church educated me. It gave me something that is really important to me. So I always think about my faith.
