Benedict Cumberbatch talks us through his iconic career so far and his approach to breaking down complex characters x

On Vincent Anderson: "I've never read something quite so original. I'm not just playing a man who has a psychotic episode and imagines a 7-foot tall, blue monster puppet named Eric. It was also playing Eric, reimagining what Vincent's interpretation of this id, this shadow self would be in terms of his vocal performance. It's just rich, rich story-telling. Really a complex, dynamic character to play on a really spectacularly loopy journey." On Doctor Strange: "Where to start... I was going to play him and then I couldn't because I had already booked Hamlet. They drifted away and then they, very quickly, drifted back to me. They shifted their whole factory line to my schedule. [...] I'm very much looking forward to Avengers next year. He's cooking up a storm."
