Doctor Strange: Benedict Cumberbatch Visits Comic Book Store In-Costume

Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson has shared a throwback video from 2016, which shows Benedict Cumberbatch visiting a comic book store dressed in his character's full costume. The behind-the-scenes footage, shared by Derrickson on Twitter, captures a "never before shown moment" of a previously-reported incident that occurred while taking a break from filming scenes for Marvel's Doctor Strange in New York.

Never before shown moment.

While shooting in Manhattan right in front of a comic book store, I spontaneously suggested to Benedict that he go inside and he agreed. pic.twitter.com/ge2DcqWpu1 — N O S ⋊ Ɔ I ᴚ ᴚ Ǝ ᗡ ⊥ ⊥ O Ɔ S (@scottderrickson) July 28, 2020

"I'm about to walk into a comic store in Manhattan dressed as Doctor Strange, come with me," Cumberbatch says to the camera at the start of the clip, before proceeding to surprise customers with his grand entrance into the shop. Once inside the establishment, Cumberbatch shakes hands and exchanges a few words with the employees, who seize the opportunity to ask for a photo of him at the store, holding the Marvel Comics issue Doctor Strange: The Oath. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/08/14/what-is-doctor-strange-2s-multiverse-of-madness"] Cumberbatch is expected to make his next official appearance as the Sorcerer Supreme in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Evil Dead and Spider-Man director Sam Raimi will be taking over directing duties on the Doctor Strange sequel, which was scheduled to be released next year, however, it has now been pushed back to March 25, 2022, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
