Benedict Cumberbatch Talks What Makes Doctor Strange a Superhero
Doctor Strange is Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme, leading the way on the mystical side of things in the MCU. He's charged with protecting the world of magic purely because of circumstance, in that sense. But that's not why he's a superhero, according to Benedict Cumberbatch.
“This man reaches the very bottom and then more,” says Cumberbatch. “You think, How much more can this guy take? He’s broken, he gets up again, he’s broken — and that’s really what makes him a superhero. A lot of people have asked me, ‘What makes him a superhero?’ That’s really the answer I should have given.
"It’s not the Cloak of Levitation. It’s not the Eye of Agamotto. It’s about his staying power. It’s a marathon and not a sprint. The guy endures so much.”
The film opens November 4, setting a new course for the MCU and possibly kicking the franchise into new and original territories.
