Without a doubt, Benedict Cumberbatch has been among the most prominent British actors for many years now — and the one who conquered Hollywood with impeccable ease. The Sherlock star’s TV shows and movies win awards, charm critics, and captivate audiences, and he does it again and again, with another mini-series coming up soon… The one that had Cumberbatch do the funniest thing.
What Is Cumberbatch’s New TV Show?
For Benedict Cumberbatch, taking on new characters looks effortless, and he’s assumed many identities over the years. Arguably, his most famous impressions are those of arrogant geniuses, but the actor has proven his true range many times and intends to do it again with his upcoming Netflix mini-series Eric.
This upcoming TV show follows Vincent, a grief-stricken father whose young son went missing. In an attempt to find solace, he becomes obsessed with Eric, his son’s imaginary friend,...

Benedict Cumberbatch’s Patrick Melrose is a vortex of emotional attacks that leaves you crumbling by the end of the series. Based on the semi-autobiographical novels by author Edward St. Aubyn, the limited series brings to life a story about abuse, compassion, rage, and closure in the most entertaining way possible. The series, which came out in 2018, details the story of a man named Patrick Melrose from 1982 to 2005. Despite its dated nature, the series is quite relevant both in terms of its story and its engrossing dialogue. The show puts an addicted man at its forefront and explores the nature of his addiction through childhood trauma, loss, grief, and suffering. The directors of the show love irony almost as much as the character himself, which makes the show bearable despite its horrendous themes. The show begins with Patrick at his lowest, with the death of his father leaving him elated,...

It's no surprise that there isn't a single war movie that's easy to watch. Still, these films are usually adored by both critics and audiences.
First, they require a great deal of technical skill to make. Second, the amount of thought that goes into the set and costume design cannot go unnoticed. And third, the actors tend to shine the brightest in the face of dramatic dialogue and heartbreaking scenes, and there is no shortage of those when it comes to war.
If you're craving a good war movie, but don't have anything specific in mind, Netflix is ready to help with a new addition to its library.
Is 1917 Worth Watching?
Unlike many war movies, 1917 takes viewers back to World War I, not a few decades later. This alone sets 1917 apart from many other films in the genre, giving it a unique setting and rare insight into the events.

Following the release of MCU’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, audiences were bewildered with the movie since it was nothing like what they had expected from the 2016 movie’s sequel. However, Stephen Strange’s investigation of the multiverse in 2022 certainly set up a potentially exciting focus for the third movie.

Following the grand success of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios has faced quite a few hurdles in maintaining its once infallible consistency. A string of bow office disappointments, low ratings, and major cast changes hurt the production studio gravely and put fans wary and on guard.

Based on Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel of the same name, Steven Spielberg’s 2011 film War Horse received widespread praise upon its release. However, one notable individual that the film failed to impress is the original author of the story, Morpurgo himself, who later said that the film adaptation could have been much better.

J. J. Abrams is one of the most proficient filmmakers in the sci-fi fantasy genre, having helmed both the Star Trek and Star Wars films. Abrams’s Star Trek Into Darkness is one film that has both ardent fans and haters among Trekkies. Before the film was released in theaters, Abrams admitted that Paramount Pictures forced him to convert it to 3D in post-production.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ trailer dropped about a month ago, and fans were over the moon. The trailer showed (and confirmed) some of the cameos and variants set to appear in the movie. It referenced some neat stuff from the comics, and at one point we even saw Deadpool & Wolverine using Strange’s Sling Ring to presumably escape.
A Sling Ring is a small mystical ring worn on two fingers that has the ability to create a dimensional gateway to another location or even a different dimension. It was created specifically for the MCU and it is used by Doctor Strange and other masters of mystical arts, so how did Deadpool come across it?
Despite the resurgence of plenty of fan theories, Cumberbatch who portrays Doctor Strange was asked to weigh in on the origin of the portal, and he had a humorous response:

It’s one of those odd April days in Los Angeles, the type that locals know well: Hours after noon, the sun still seems ambivalent about whether it wants to make itself known. An outsider wouldn’t think it possible for the gleaming capital of show business to feel so grayed out. But if you grew up on an island where colorless skies are the norm, it might feel familiar.
“It’s like, Will I? Won’t I?” the Irish actor Andrew Scott quips as he settles into his chair on the rooftop of the Edition Hotel in West Hollywood. He’s been in town promoting his Netflix series “Ripley,” which launched a few weeks ago, and the foreboding weather seems apt.

Eric releases on Netflix on May 30, 2024.
A six-episode limited series starring heavyweights Benedict Cumberbatch and Gaby Hoffmann will be available on Netflix at the end of May. Abi Morgan created and wrote the series. She is known for her incredible work on films like Shame and The Iron Lady and her Emmy-winning writing on The Hour. The series follows a set of parents who are struggling after their son is kidnapped on his way to school.
Set in New York, Eric replicates some of the incredible work of past crime-thrilling series from Netflix, such as Mindhunters, Griselda, and Ripley. The often dark tone of the series brings a nice twist with the introduction of Eric. Eric is a character that Vincent and Cassie’s son Edgar had drawn. The larger-than-life monster is brought to life after Edgar’s kidnapping, bringing a much-needed comedic aspect to the series.

It’s definitely time for Benedict Cumberbatch fans to celebrate as the actor’s two very similar shows are coming to Netflix at almost the same time later in May. The streaming will first release the 2018 drama miniseries Patrick Melrose which will be followed by Cumberbatch’s brand new show Eric.
Apart from the fact that the actor stars in both shows, the series have much more in common than they initially seem to.
Back in 2018, Patrick Melrose got to be Cumberbatch’s first big dramatical role since the actor rose to international prominence due to his breakout role in the BBC crime drama show Sherlock.
Based on Edward St Aubyn’s semi-biographical novels, Patrick Melrose follows an eponymous aristocrat whose wealthy family’s facade hides his big childhood trauma caused by Patrick’s abusive father, which later leads to Patrick’s severe substance abuse and struggles in adulthood.

British authorities have granted Julian Assange leave to appeal his U.S. extradition order in a victory for the WikiLeaks founder amid his ongoing legal battle.
The two U.K. judges deferred a decision in March on whether Assange, who is hoping to avoid being prosecuted in the States over espionage charges, could take his case to another appeal hearing.
The 52-year-old had been granted an appeal only if the Biden administration was unable to provide the court with suitable assurances, including that he is ensured freedom of speech protections and will not receive the death penalty.
The decision follows a British court ruling in April 2022 that Assange could be sent to the U.S. That ruling came after a legal battle that went all the way to the U.K. Supreme Court. Assange’s appeal was his only remaining legal avenue in the U.K. justice system.

Doctor Strange has become one of the MCU’s most prominent and crucial characters. Despite a humble origin story, he has grown significantly in importance. After “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” fans anticipated he would play a central role in the multiverse saga.
However, his future in the MCU now appears less certain than initially thought.

Dr. Strange is at this point one of the most notable characters in the MCU and one of the most important. Despite his origin story being a bit more humble than today’s releases, he managed to perform strong and will be a huge part of the MCU going forward.
Or…so we thought. Following the release of ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ we were ushered in full steam ahead into the multiverse saga of the MCU, and we thought that Doctor Strange would be one of the most vital characters, but it seems that it isn’t as clear cut as we thought.

Doctor Who is currently airing its fourteenth season with Ncuti Gatwa as the new Doctor. The modern revival which has been going on since 2005 has been able to entertain audiences with its quirky sci-fi tropes and many actors bringing in their own spin of the Doctor over the years. One of the people responsible for its success behind the scenes is writer Steven Moffat.

[This story contains major spoilers from the May 17 episode of Doctor Who, “Boom.”]
During Russell T Davies’ first time in charge of BBC behemoth Doctor Who, one of its regular writers often wrote some of its more memorable and popular stories.
Scottish writer, Steven Moffat, had made a sizable name for himself in the U.K. with television shows such as Press Gang and Coupling, and would bring new terrors to young Whovians in the form of Gask Mask Zombies and the Weeping Angels. When Davies came to leave the show, Moffat was the natural choice to replace him.
He cast Matt Smith (The Crown, House of the Dragon) as the youngest ever actor to play the role and made huge strides in the U.S. cementing Doctor Who’s popularity. Moffat would leave the role of showrunner after seven years (and after casting Peter Capaldi to play Smith’s successor).

It's an uncertain time for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Marvel Studios looking to get back to quality over quantity, we're expecting sweeping changes to be made to the Multiverse Saga slate, with D23 or Comic-Con the most likely destinations for an update.
However, we're not the only ones wondering what's next. Talking to The Playlist, Benedict Cumberbatch was asked what he knows of Doctor Strange 3.
"Who knows," he responded when they wondered whether it would be released before the next Avengers movies. As for the former Sorcerer Supreme's role in those, Cumberbatch added, "We will see. We will find out. I’m not sure where he’s been and what he’s been up to and who with, but yeah, I know as little as you."

Benedict Cumberbatch Talks Marvel’s “Big Machine” But Says He’s In The Dark About ‘Doctor Strange 3’
These days, avoiding Marvel confirmation of any kind might be an occupational hazard. For example, today, “Top Gun: Maverick” star Lewis Pullman was on the Happy Sad Confused podcast to promote his Apple TV+ series, “Lessons In Chemistry,” co-starring Brie Larson, which is vying for Emmy Contention now. The actor was asked about this upcoming appearance in Marvel’s “Thunderbolts*” movie, reportedly playing the character of Sentry, and the actor skirted around the subject as much as possible in a squirm-inducing segment of the interview.

Two years have passed since the release of ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,’ yet it’s only recently come to light that it stands among the most expensive films ever made, both within the MCU and in the broader cinematic landscape. According to Forbes, Disney has revealed that the budget for the 2022 superhero flick reached an astonishing $414.9 million, surpassing even the hefty budget of ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron.’
However, ‘Age of Ultron’ outperformed ‘Multiverse of Madness’ in box office profits, despite its lower production cost. Benedict Cumberbatch returns as the sorcerer in the sequel to 2016’s ‘Doctor Strange,’ alongside Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch. Nevertheless, despite its monumental production expenses, the film still yielded significant earnings.
‘Avengers: Endgame’ reigns supreme with earnings of $2,799,439,100, followed by ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ with $2,052,415,039. Released in 2022, ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ earned $955,775,804, while its predecessor ‘Doctor Strange’ (2016) garnered $677,796,833. Forbes estimates that...

It’s been 2 years since ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ was released, but we’re only now learning that it was one of the most expensive movies ever made, in the MCU and in general.
Disney has disclosed that the budget for the 2022 superhero film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness reached a remarkable $414.9 million as reported by Forbes, surpassing even the hefty budget of ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron.’
Despite this, ‘Age of Ultron’ generated significantly more profit at the box office compared to ‘Multiverse of Madness,’ despite having a lower production cost. The film, a sequel to 2016’s ‘Doctor Strange,’ features Benedict Cumberbatch reprising his role as the sorcerer, alongside Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch.
Still, despite the gargantuan production costs, the movie still managed to earn quite a bit.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness certainly was a spectacular movie in terms of the amount of CGI it had to use. It turns out that the sequel also cost a lot of money, surpassing the budget of a far superior MCU film.
Forbes reports that Disney finally declared the production cost of Benedict Cumberbatch’s adventure in the Multiverse, which was $414.9 million. Forbes thinks this surpassed Avengers: Age of Ultron‘s budget, but I don’t think that’s right.
In a 2018 article, the publication stated that Avengers 2 cost $495.2 million. Even adjusting for inflation, the Ultron movie would still cost more. Why is the film’s budget now scaled back to $388.3m?
Forbes does not link to the previous story or the financial snapshot it provided in 2018, but I will:
Here’s the new cost chart Forbes uses in the latest article:
Regardless, Doctor Strange 2 was profitable on paper.

The relationship between brothers Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch) and George Burbank (Jesse Plemons) in The Power of The Dog is... complicated, to say the least. The film, which recently received 12 Oscar nominations — including best picture and best director — introduces us to the ranch-owning siblings. A decades-old tension simmers between the pair, with Phil trying to assert dominance over their shared territory. Things get even more intense when George marries an inn owner named Rose, bringing her and her son, Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee), into their already-complex family dynamics, with the unpredictable Phil seemingly intent on tormenting them both.
Crafting such a nuanced relationship between two characters is no easy feat, but Cumberbatch and Plemons were given a specific rehearsal technique to help them find their way: dancing.

Before he returns to the role of Spider-Man’s best friend, “Guy in the Chair” and emergency sorcerer, Jacob Batalon is deepening his relationship with Sony Pictures. Today, Batalon is back on the big screen in the studio’s supernatural horror film, Tarot. Written and directed by Anna Halberg and Spenser Cohen, Tarot chronicles seven college friends whose individual tarot card readings come to life in deadly fashion. Batalon plays Paxton, the impulsive life of the party within his friend group.
Tarot partially utilizes Batalon as comic relief, a role that he’s perfected since breaking out in Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), but the film also allowed him to play afraid, something young actors often cite as being the most difficult emotion to play given the mechanics of a film set.

Netflix is throwing a last-minute Emmys contender into the already crowded limited series field with “Eric,” a psychological thriller that premieres May 30. The streaming service released a trailer for the six-episode series on Thursday.
Emmy winner Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Vincent, a puppeteer for a children’s TV show in early 1980s New York. He struggles with addiction.
