What's not to look forward to? It's like all the actors in all of the films. It's difficult to get Martin Freeman and I in a room together. Imagine what it's like to get myself, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Elizabeth Olsen... these extraordinary actors who all have careers outside the Marvel Universe.

I keep myself amused and others confused

I'm excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.

I've done a bit of live action before but the fight sequences, the wire work and the physical regime were taken to another level [ in Doctor Strange].

There's so much in the 21st century that is stymied by bureaucracy and mediocrity and committee.

Being a posh actor in England you cannot escape the class-typing from whatever side you look at it.

Doctor Strange is an origin story so there's a certain room for me improving as well as the character improving.
