With successful careers, great kids, and enviable love life, Theo (Cumberbatch) and Ivy (Colman) seem to be a picture-perfect couple, but it all comes crashing down when Theo’s professional dreams fall apart, ruining the façade of their perfect family along the way.

Tony McNamara (Poor Things) wrote the script, drawing inspiration from Warren Adler’s novel The War of the Roses, which also inspired the 1989 adaptation led by Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. Adler Entertainment Trust CEO Jonathan R. Adler is looking forward to seeing Roach bring his father’s vision to life.

“Working with our partners at Searchlight Pictures in this reimagining of the classic movie is a dream come true. We are delighted to continue the legacy of our father’s brilliant work and introduce The War of the Roses to a new generation,” said Adler in a statement.

Cumberbatch is fresh of starring in Wes Anderson’s four adaptations of Roald Dahl’s short stories, including the Oscar-winning short The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. As for Colman, she most recently appeared in Wonka and starred in the TV series Great Expectations and Secret Invasion.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar was included in Dahl’s series of seven short stories and chronicled the adventures of a modern-day Robin Hood who brings joy to the hearts of orphans—and fear to the souls of casino owners around the world.

Deadline reported that the project is expected to consist of three mini-films, similar to the Coen brothers’ The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. It’s unclear which stories will be included, but two of them will be autobiographical in nature and explore Dahl’s journey to becoming a writer and his experiences as a fighter pilot in World War II.

Deadline also reports that Benedict Cumberbatch will play Henry Sugar, while the rest of the cast includes Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel, and Ben Kingsley. Production is expected to kick off next week in London, with the rest of the cast yet to be announced.

This won’t be Anderson’s first foray into the magical world of Dahl’s novels—he also directed Fantastic Mr. Fox in 2009.

No Way Home hit the theatres in the US on December 17th and it took it less than two weeks to reach this milestone. To make the whole thing even more impressive, it’s one of only a few movies of the modern era to ever reach $1 billion without premiering in China.

No Way Home is the third-fastest title in history to cross a one billion mark on the global box office, after Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. It’s not the only major record where it trails behind other Marvel movies. It also had the second-highest opening day and second-highest domestic box office opening behind Endgame.

Spider-Man: No Way Home sees Peter Parker (Tom Holland) face many hardships after his identity as Spider-Man is revealed to the entire world. He asks Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to reverse the past, but his botched spell breaks open the multiverse and invites many familiar faces into Parker’s world.

No Way Home opened in theaters on December 17 as a follow-up to 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home. After his secret identity was revealed in the previous movie, Peter Parker enlists Doctor Strange for help, and he ends up breaking the multiverse open in the process.

Tom Holland and Benedict Cumberbatch reprised their roles from the previous MCU movies, alongside Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, and Marisa Tomei. Several villains from the previous Spider-Man movies also make a comeback, including Jamie Foxx, Willem Dafoe, and Alfred Molina.

No Way Home scored a $587.2 million debut—the third biggest in history behind Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War. It’s close to crossing Infinity War’s domestic box office numbers, with $253 million grossed in the United States and Canada. It also earned $334.2 million in other territories.

No Way Home will be followed by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, set to premiere on May 6th, 2022. Thor: Love and Thunder and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever are also set to hit the theaters next year.

Following last week’s news that Jamie Foxx is coming back to play Electro in the forthcoming Spiderman feature, the third installment of Sony’s franchise, multiple outlets confirm that Benedict Cumberbatch has signed on to return as Doctor Strange in Spiderman 3.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Doctor Strange will take on the role of Iron Man for Tom Holland’s hero, and act as a mentor for SpiderMan.

Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, Jacob Batalon, and Tony Revolori are also expected to reprise their roles in the still untitled superhero pic. 

Filming is set to begin next month with Jon Watts at the helm.

Spiderman 3 is scheduled to open in theaters on December 17, 2021.

The man has appeared in over 80 on-screen productions, performed in several West End shows, has an Emmy and Laurence Olivier Award to his name, and holds a Masters degree in Classical Acting.

But his true talent lies in doing impressions.

Interviewers have long asked the Avengers: Endgame star to mimic fellow famous actors such as the late Alan Rickman, Jack Nicholson, Tom Hiddleston, and even Star Wars characters.

Cumberbatch’s also did an impression of his Avengers co-star, Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man.

“Oh hi, guys. Hi, yeah, it’s Tom. Really excited to be here… No I can’t, otherwise I’ll admit secrets!” an animated Cumberbatch riffed during an Infinity War press junket.

And now the impersonatee in question has been asked his thoughts.

“I have seen Benedict impersonate me and, actually, it’s not that bad,” Holland said. “He hasn’t got the accent or the voice, but he’s got the energy.”

Well done, Doctor Strange.

He of the awesome name, Benedict Cumberbatch, and his wife, Sophie Hunter, are adding to their brood if the latest sightings are to be believed.

The pair, who have been married since 2015 (after being friends for 17 years!), recently appeared on the red carpet at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards where the theatre director was sporting a very noticeable bump around her midriff.

The couple is already parents to 3-year-old Christopher Carlton and Hal Auden who was born last year.

“I’m always in a rush to get back [home]. It’s everything. I have a new life form that needs his father’s help in the world and his mother needs a little help once in a while,” the Avengers: Infinity War actor said after the birth of his eldest son.

Let’s hope the next one is a Cumberbatchlette!
