Doctor Strange in Argentina: the love story between Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter

Benedict Cumberbatch he’s in Buenos Aires, not for a walk or because he’s about to shoot a movie. The actor he is Strange Doctor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe he came for love. he came to escort his wife, Sophie Hunter, which will premiere on Tuesday 27 September The seven deadly sinsby Kurt Weill, e Bluebeard’s castleby Béla Bartók, in Colon Theater.

In May of this year I interviewed him via Zoom. The excuse was the, at that moment, the upcoming premiere of Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness. I asked him, of course, what he knew about Argentina. And after admitting he knows almost nothing (“a little. No, I don’t know much about Argentina”), he compliments: “I’ll be very excited to know more.” And let’s move on to something else.

The love

The two-time Oscar nominee Benedict for The enigma code in the 2015 edition, and the power of the dogin the same year, he is 46, and his wife Sophie Hunter, 44.

Hunter is an English theater director and playwright who has also been an actress and singer. You made your directorial debut in 2007 co-directing the experimental work The fantastic electric at the Barbican Pit. His productions are generally avant-garde

Cumberbatch and Hunter are so romantic They decided to formalize their relationship by getting married on February 14, Valentine’s Day.. It was 2015. Her engagement ring was a diamond, worth $ 450,000.

They have three children, Christopher, Hal and Finn, aged 7, 5 and 3.

Benedict’s engagement to Sophie, whom he had known for 5 years earlier, was traditionally announced in the Upcoming Weddings section of the newspaper. Times on November 5, 2014.

What are you doing here? Doesn’t he have to film?

The actor’s current agenda, in terms of work, consists of a film and a miniseries. Both are in the process of filming, which doesn’t imply Cumberbatch has to stick to next week with any commitments. He could very well have finished his scenes, or have stipulated – with time – that he was at our disposal at that moment.

In the movie The end from which we startby Mahalia Bello, leads the cast with Jodie Comer (eve of the killing). The plot centers on a woman and her newborn son trying to find their way home as an environmental crisis plunges London into a flood.

And the series is also shooting The 39 steps (the 39 steps), which would have no relation to the classic directed by Alfred Hitchcock. There Benedict will be an ordinary man, who unwittingly becomes a member of a global conspiracy to “restore” world order. It is the brainchild of Mark L. Smith, screenwriter of the rebornwith Leonardo Di Caprio, and midnight skyby and with George Clooney.

A man of his word Benedict is an important figure, so every word he utters is listened to carefully and has a strong logical rebound. As for the war between Ukraine and Russia, the actor has established a position from the very beginning. In March, when he was a guest at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, he showed a Ukrainian flag. And he announced that he would take a family of Ukrainian refugees into his home in England.
