Will Benedict Cumberbatch's DOCTOR STRANGE Have An American Or English Accent?
Benedict Cumberbatch was asked last night if his Sorcerer Supreme will be using his own English accent or an American one. Hit the jump for his response, as well as comments from Felicity Jones and Lupita N’yongo on becoming part of the Star Wars franchise...
So, Benedict Cumberbatch evaded answering that pretty well! It's an interesting question though. Doctor Strange is obviously American in the comic books, but he's the kind of character you can imagine an English accent suiting well. Sadly, it will likely be a long time until we find out either way! In the second video, Felicity Jones (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) and Lupita N’yongo (12 Years A Slave) are a little more forthcoming about their respective Star Wars roles, but not much. The latter has a mystery role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, while Jones has been cast as the female lead in Gareth Edwards' 2016 spinoff. What do you guys think of these comments? Sound off below!
