The site also caught up with the actor while visiting the set earlier this year, where he was asked to compare this iconic Marvel Comics hero to another beloved character he plays,Sherlockon the hit BBC TV series. Here’s what he had to say, when asked what both characters have in common.
“The two men are intelligent. Finito. That’s it.Stephen Strangeis a lover, he’s a materialist, he’s arrogant, but he’s got a great sense of humor. There are smatterings of the same colors thatSherlockhas, but he’s not on the spectrum.”
