Cumberbatch was asked about working with young actors such as Holland, Zendaya and Batalon.
“These guys are Gen Z and I’m the Gen Old” Cumberbatch joked.
“I watch them. I think what they do is fantastic on every level. The atmosphere they create on set, the joy they work with, the talent they have to work with and you know how they keep themselves in public. They are an inspiration. “, He continued for his younger teammates.
Cumberbatch also noted that he is currently rehearsing for the upcoming Marvel Doctor Strange film in Multiverse of Madness.
