"Tony, I've come to give you shawarma!" Benedict Cumberbatch on Doctor Strange's next move

[Music] now are you on camera we're on camera i'm on camera i should definitely take that off i should shouldn't yeah i just wanted to spice things up a bit for doctor strange in the multiverse of madness so um i've got a very geeky barber called mike yeah and he for like your thoughts oh my god no wonder you had the kerbin mask on that's really good obviously i'm wearing this beard because i wanted to do pay homage to my favorite character in the mcu yes uh tony stark yes seriously leaning on the cauldron of the cosmos and i think i think i really know it i'm going to allow that oh i'm gutted ah it's not true it's you benedict yeah where's tony and it's very nearly benedict juan oh he's pretty he's pretty pretty close yeah try me beyonce oh come on you've heard of her she's a huge star right donald's outside who who basically is he's the master of the the facial arts otherwise known as a makeup artist and he it's his creation so that's very good i'll get his thoughts and uh fantastic feelings but yeah no my worry is is that it kind of suits me it sort of does and i never wanted to be like a ghosty guy i always thought that was a bit of a i don't know not my thing let's put it that way here we are um guys go to guys so what i need to get the advice from you is is it like how do you do it now that's quite good i should probably do it like that's far quicker does this chattering animal speak for you certainly not i speak for myself trespassing in this city and on this planet it means get lost squidward well there's a bit of this going on for like portland you have to have the old stingray here if the rest of your green friend won't be joining us there'll be all new games and tricks and hand motions and yeah a little bit of voguing all that i did what i had to do [Music] to protect our world i hope you're not looking too much like liz olson's voguing so otherwise we'd just be creating the same madness in the multiverse can i just say though when you first had this one i thought that was an impression because the beginning of the first film yeah he meets the character with a surgical muscle so here am i as an actor going great anonymity that's at least one good thing to come out of this mess and i step out in new zealand where we were filming we got locked down there to wait to start filming again for power of the dog wearing one of them and someone immediately went straight and i was like oh yes kind of not today but yes kind of i was tempted to have my yellow gloves on and do this like the thor i know so i keep a watch list of individuals and beings from other realms that may be a threat to this world your adoptive brother loki is one of those beings they got struck they didn't like yellow gloves that's water i wish i could make it beer but i can't it's a worthy inclusion they can't that's all you can i could definitely do that yeah i haven't seen the movie is there room do you think for me to appear as professor plum unfortunately he's already been cast and it's uh yeah uh you don't know who's playing it it's really embarrassing that's really crushing it's george clooney yeah and he did do it in the library with the poker did he apparently say wow the truth is wow incredible scenes i never meant for any of this to happen so let's be professional crack on with the interview your doctor's strength cast your mind back when you first got the gig how the heck did that happen maybe six years yeah that's me doing the doctor strange wobble strange we all right it happened as an idea muted after funnily enough another little dance i did for another character in the mcu very brief character and i i was bold enough to say i'm really flattered to be invited to the party but i'd rather hold out something a bit more juicy and then so and i but i didn't i didn't mention it it just went away and they rumbled about it and i guess my rep sort of went rumble rumble back i i really wasn't part of the conversation until it came back to me through my reps that they were interested and i sort of read the comics and went yikes because he's quite old-school a bit of a misogynist very bound in the 70s they're you know moment of the cult mysticism meeting i thought it's a bit cornball it's a bit um acne i'm not sure this is a great emcee i don't get it yeah nope and they went no it would be today it would be very much a man of today yes with some of those qualities but like a man of today would have those qualities where he thinks he's the bee's knees they weren't about us they were about you not only about me steven everything is about you because he has to have that arrogance and i just and you are wow wow i fell in love with their script just one like adele anyway um yeah so that's that's the shorter version of very long story of how it came about i'm peter by the way dr strange oh you're using your made up names um i'm spider-man then what is it about this character you love so much and to help you i've got a whole ton of suggestions sure so here's what i love about him he is an unlikable at least initially obnoxious all i don't know wong's not that bad nothing wrong with one okay go on yes yes saves lives doctor strangers and then the universe yes correct but he doesn't really save like i think he does but it's really about the prowess of him and this this gets us into this film you know he was an ego driven by the success of it rather than the service of it currently he turns into a superhero becomes self-sacrificing and servicing there was no other way and then now the ego i think is creeping back in he's become pretty omnipotent over these past few outings if i tell you what happens it won't happen you better be right yeah the guy that looks at his phone he's driving his fast car is back he kind of sort of looking at a broom thing or a relic whilst flying through the mouth first we'll see we'll see what mistakes he makes and what the uh what the bill that becomes due is but it's an interesting journey that goes on in this one you okay cracks open a little bit in spider-man what's happening they're starting to come through and i can't stop them that's full on here i'm sorry stephen your desecration of reality will not go unpunished [Music] there's another great mark ruffalo image which is on your birthday was this you at the 10th anniversary photo shoot of all the mcu super people this was where this is yeah so it's the 10th anniversary and it's the whole school yeah i've turned up and you can see there there you are having a great time mark's asked for a photo because he's a fan mark this is and this is mark's mark's photo yeah and in the background if you swipe i think right or left yeah you'll see tom looking so awkward kid at school who hasn't met anyone yet oh don't oh that's awful yeah he's kind of he's trying to get my attention he's like don't leave me hanging here come on ben ben i don't know what do i say to kurt russell i wasn't even i don't even know who he is i haven't seen any because you know i was born you know after his last big film he was in the things oh please ben just maybe i've snapped my fingers cut my hands oh i'm gonna do it telepathically look around look around all right probably texture point um bless him at least he wasn't live facebooking like some people were um great point oh snipe [Music] what's your best story from that day because that that literally the amount of secrecy that went into that day the privilege of being in a room with that many people who over 10 years created this incredible franchise this extraordinary industry and having someone go look at me world that's not a very good impression of him i don't really want to on any better but and just facetiming life the whole thing but just to be breathing the same air as some of those people it was it was it was extraordinary it really was extraordinary as was that scene which i don't think i could talk about when we first talked about it when i'm standing by the you know the doc and tony's hearts floating off and it's just like the entire mcu up until now yeah in one tracking shot and we were like giddy giddy kids in the sweet shop we were just all chatting to each other between top secret no cameras chris put your cameras away man come on what are you doing ben doesn't have a camera today meeting wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful actors yeah um most of for me for the first time standing up to michael douglas and michelle pfeiffer all right uh hello i'm benedict oh we know who you are but i but oh hello it's just like i loved you on wall street geeking out no i mean just like just icons of cinema yeah incredible i think at one point this is the deleted scene you became what i'd call dr man but you have the iron man dr man oh yeah you've seen it i've seen some of the images iron strange iron strange yeah dr mann is a bit confused yeah dr mann dr ryan it's better than professor plum so what was it like wearing that and you must have been so annoyed i suppose that it left the film yeah i was a bit we both were it took a long time to splurge those spliced costumes together no it was an amazing moment and i think i definitely came out of it better than uh iron strange or dr man the other guy a strange man um he definitely came out a bit better i mean having a bit of that outwear on you it's like it's very very very cool yeah very cool i would love to have seen what the combination of wizardry and that tech would do as well one day bring it on it needs to happen yes i've got a couple of mill in my bank count i mean kevin come on i love discovering that the eye tear wiping was your idea oh that yes stop and i loved what the other line was uh i'm protecting your reality douchebag yeah what is your job exactly besides making balloon animals protecting your reality douchebag yeah so basically tom had just come off the success of the first spider-man film of his and obviously he had scenes with downey in that so they knew each other they were very relaxed around each other so on the q ship they were sort of riffing around aunt may and i was going this is crazy i'm working on one of the biggest budget most special forms of all time these two actors just being playful like making stuff up and it ends up in the movie don't pretend you thought this time i know you do you think this is not really possible you can't be a friendly neighborhood spider-man if there's no neighborhood have some of that let's have some fun and uh but i remember doing it and the crew was sort of the over the back of his shoulder obviously and i remember doing and i just remember people literally kind of going i went oh shoot what have i done have i done something have i ever stepped the mark and everyone else was like that was weird that was so cool i said but can i can you can you include that and the ruse says like if we're allowed to we would definitely definitely include that line can we get the uh douchebag specialist in yeah one one's okay one's one it's okay exactly the douche count [Laughter] listen to me he's got all snips what would you say is the most memorable piece of direction you've ever been given as dr stephen strange could you do it faster just quicker you're taking way too way too long get the totting done quicker simon acts the whole scene oh he does a little play-by-play oh he really then and then this happened and then you come over here and then this thing comes in i want you to really mean at the camera and then we're going to zoom in with the camera and then yeah cut uh and so you get that in the camera this is more actual words obviously i can't because that might give a scene away and i can't do that so yeah basically he he will go there and to begin with it was like what's going on and then it and then it got quite familiar and then it was and then it became raucously funny i'm gonna wrap things up with a question that you can't answer are you ready yeah always always as i'll ever be where would you like to see doctor strange go next uh i'd like to see him doing some waiting work great you know i like team getting out there being humble being of service and just holding a few drinks here we are my choctaw insist you try it portals and food yeah uh portals and food you're making everything but maybe just just that just standing there with the tray going you're welcome maitre d slash waiter yeah and even hd might be too high i think he you know just he needs to start a peg or two where i started as an out of work actor just get him used to you know working his way back up to the top i've got it schwammer restaurant it's a great idea and you know with the time thing yes go back and serve those guys guys tony i've come to bargain i've come to give you schwammer okay it's been an absolute pleasure and total analysis thank you please please have a great rest your day and i look forward to seeing george's
