[Crosspost] Hello /r/movies, I'm Benedict Cumberbatch. Ask me anything.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with Benedict Cumberbatch. He's starred in countless films and series, including Sherlock, Doctor Strange (and other MCU films), The Imitation Game, The Hobbit, The Power of the Dog, 1917, 12 Years A Slave, The Grinch, The Current War, The Roses, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, War Horse, Black Mass, and more.

It's live here now in /r/movies:

He'll be back today at around 12 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

His new film, **The Thing with Feathers**, is out in theaters next week.
