Benedict Cumberbatch has commented that during Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange plays the adult in the room.
One of the most fascinating components of the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War is going to be seeing just how all of these characters come together, how their personalities clash, and the relationships that are formed.
We’ve seen some of this in past Avengers movies but nothing quite on this scale. One character that is sure to make an impact on many of his fellow marvel heroes during the fight against Thanos is Doctor Strange. And the actor portraying him, Benedict Cumberbatch, told Entertainmentie that the character plays the “adult in the room”:
“I think the line that he was the adult in the room was something that we all sort of talked about early on,” Cumberbatch said. “He’s in the room with Iron Man and he’s trying to pull him together and focus him on this pretty sobering threat that’s imminent and yeah, it was apparent that if it was just name calling name calling name calling name calling if it was just that all of the time … one of them just had to go ‘I can really take your name calling you fifth grader idiot’ and go back to the job at hand and so that was really what my role was.”
It’s certainly an interesting tease for the soon to be released film and understandable to hear that there will be plenty of personalities clashing while our heroes attempt to unite and defeat their foe.
