Benedict Cumberbatch is headlining a Marvel movie these days, but he was the Internet’s Boyfriend long before he was Doctor Strange. Here’s some of his other work you should check out.
It might seem impossible, but there are people out there who don’t know who Benedict Cumberbatch is. I know – weird, right? It might surprise people to learn that he’s more than that kind of alien-looking guy with the funny name. Or that he’s made something other than that Sherlock show. But now that Cumberbatch has made a Marvel movie, basically everyone is going to know who he is pretty soon.
Therefore, this is as good a time as any for you to start investigating his cinematic backlog. Cumberbatch has made a lot of different things – feature films, mystery series, comedies. He’s played virtually every flavor of tortured genius. And he’s got the best outerwear game going. (Honestly, where does he get these coats??)
It turns out that there are roughly as many things starring Benedict Cumberbatch to watch as there are silly ways to make fun of his name. (I’m sorry, Benedict. I can’t help myself.) Here are sixteen of them to get you started.
