After landing a SAG Award nomination this morning for his work in Jane Campion’s Netflix Western The Power of the Dog, Benedict Cumberbatch spoke with Deadline about his recently-announced, first collaboration with Wes Anderson on a Netflix adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, as well as the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Cumberbatch, who is playing the title character in Anderson’s latest, said he is “over the moon” about the opportunity to work with the filmmaker, with production set to start soon, and also “a little bit nervous” as he is before every job. “[Anderson’s] greatness is a fact. He’s wonderful. What a rewarding director for audiences, for actors—the style, the work, the aesthetic, and also the heart and soul of him,” he opined. “It’s a marvelous time and a very different experience I imagine from working with Jane, but one that’s going to be pretty rewarding.”

Cumberbatch is currently preparing to return to shooting Wes Anderson’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar — an experience he calls “amazing.”
The man is everything you expected him to be and heard about him being still,” he said of Anderson. “It’s just a complete lived experience — not that dissimilar to Jane, actually. Very different style and approach to filmmaking, but everything, the curatorship of every detail and surrendering yourself to that, to a master, is just a joy. There’s a lot of lines, and it’s the same kind of brain gym as doing Sherlock’s deductions. But I love that tapping-head-and-rubbing-tummy stuff. It’s a great stretch, and the set and costume designs are just incredible and the era, the milieu, it’s just unlike anything I’ve done in in recent years.”
