Amid fireworks and screaming fans at the red carpet premiere
in Hong Kong on Thursday night, Cumberbatch said the film based
on a popular American comic was a classic Marvel offering.
"It sort of fulfilled everything that you could have imagined
from a Marvel film. It's big. It's bold and it is very new,
visually obviously, but also some of the tone of it," he said.
Cumberbatch who gained international acclaim for his role in the
TV series "Sherlock", was joined by co-star Tilda Swinton,
director Scott Derrickson and Marvel Studios executive producer
Kevin Feige.
Cumberbatch plays Stephen Strange, a neurosurgeon who loses the
use of his hands in a car accident and discovers the world of
sorcery, with Swinton his mentor.
The film will play in Hong Kong cinemas on October 27, one week
before its U.S. release on November 4.
