Benedict Cumberbatch’s long lost brother!

marvelentertainment:

Here are a select few photos of Sherlock’s Benedict Cumberbatch and Steven Moffat visiting Marvel Comics HQ in NYC. We chose these as we felt they would be the most “Tumblr-approved” photos in the lot. Want more? Head over to Agent M’s marvel.com blog to see all 31 photos of Benedict Cumberbatch, Steven Moffat & Sue Vertue at Marvel HQ. And a little more info from Agent M:

A few short weeks ago, I had the pleasure of giving a Marvel HQ tour to some of the amazing folks behind the TV show “Sherlock”: star Benedict Cumberbatch and Executive Producers Steven Moffat & Sue Vertue. They were incredibly nice and it was a great visit. Much like when Danny Pudi visited Marvel, Benedict, Steven and Sue found themselves surrounded by fans at Marvel—even signging DVDs for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN writer Dan Slott!

I also enlisted the help of Marvel Comics editors Nick Lowe and Jeanine Schaefer to record an episode of our This Week in Marvel podcast with the “Sherlock” crew. That episode will go live on Tuesday, May 22 and you can download it on Marvel.com, iTunes or Zune.

The “Sherlock” U.S. finale airs Sunday, May 20 at 9 p.m. on Masterpiece on PBS. You can also stream episodes of “Sherlock” for a limited time at pbs.org/sherlock. Check out Masterpiece on Facebook and Twitter (#SherlockPBS), and follow @Steven_Moffat and @SueVertue on Twitter. To find out if Benedict Cumberbatch has an official Twitter account, you’ll have to listen to the podcast when it’s available. :)

“Ben hasn’t told me who he’s playing in Star Trek, so he’s keeping very tight-lipped. I was badgering him all day, we were doing the rounds together and he said, ‘No, won’t’.”

“But it’s been amazing to be alongside him too, because we started our training for War Horse the Monday after the first episode of Sherlock ever aired on television. So I was kind of right next to him as I watched his life change.”

“And after he saw Thor he said, ‘My God, I can’t believe you’re up there in this huge superhero movie’. So there’s a huge amount of mutual pride, which we all need in this game because it can be a lonely business, because you’re the only person going for a job and it’s great to have friends that are doing well that you can applaud.” - Tom Hiddleston

Apparently 10,000 people entered the Sherlock screening and Q&A in NYC tonight and the line to get in started around 7 a.m. 

That’s not nearly as early as the line started for the Doctor Who series 6 premiere but still.

You could stick a knife in my thigh, and I wouldn’t tell you. Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, and I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles.

How an iPhone Audition Got Benedict Cumberbatch Into the ‘Star Trek’ Sequel - NYTimes.com

I got a call before Christmas Eve saying that they’re very interested in you playing the not-so-good guy in the next “Star Trek” film. Can you get yourself on tape? So I rang some friends of mine – and when I say friends, I mean the top casting directors in England who were all on holiday because we observe this little Judeo-Christian cult holiday called Christmas. Whereas, you know, some kids in this part of town, [circles his hands to indicate Los Angeles]with their Crackberrys, don’t. And the demands were coming in so fast, I was like, This is terrifying. And by the 27th, people were knocking on the door, literally, and saying I’ve got to put myself on tape.

I was down in Gloucestershire with some friends, who turned out to be useless. I won’t mention their names, they’re quite well known friends, a director and a very brilliant actress. Bless them, they were busy with his kid. I then went down to London and begged my best friend there, Adam Ackland. He’s always been there to put out the fire. And he said, “Let’s do it.” My Flip wasn’t working, I couldn’t get any kind of recording device. I said, I’m going to do it on my iPhone. It’s high quality, it’s HD. It will be fine.

And so I ended up squatting in their kitchen, at about 11 o’clock at night. I was pretty strung out, so that went into the performance. And his wife, Alice, bless her, with two children asleep – they’ve got enough on their plate without this actor in a crisis in their kitchen — and she’s balancing two chairs to get the right angle on me and desk lamps bouncing light off bits of paper, just trying desperately to make it look half-decent. Because it’s going to go into J.J. Abrams’s iPad. So we did it, and then it took a day and a half to compress it. I sent it to him, and then I got told, “J.J.’s on holiday.”

I was furious. And then I heard on the day after New Year’s Day – we had an amazing first showing for [the British season premiere of] “Sherlock,” and then he just sent me an e-mail, going, “You want to come and play?” I said, What does this mean? Are you in town, you want to go for a drink? I’m English, you’ve got to be really straight with me on this. Have I got the part?

Here’s Benedict Cumberbatch stroking hair away from your face.

It was great. I got to hang out with him, and I kept a straight face for a bit and then I started giggling because I know Martin, I don’t know Bilbo. For Martin to be sitting there playing Bilbo is amazing. He’s going to be amazing, he’s going to be fantastic in this film.
