As Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness gears up for its big release, Yash starrer KGF: Chapter 2 is still minting moolah at the Indian box office. The Marvel movie has already churned more than Rs 20 crore in pre-sales, and from what the buzz suggests, the film will go on to be a hit in the country.
Indianexpress.com recently interacted with Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Dr Stephen Strange, the surgeon-turned superhero to discuss his take on the Indian film industry and the possibility of an Indian superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
ASked how he perceives India — as just a location that brings in big earnings for Marvel or a prospective competition for Hollywood, the actor said, “I don’t think the two (industries) are exclusive. You know you’ve got a very avid movie-going public and that translates whether it’s Bollywood or Hollywood. And I think that’s fine. There’s room for both. It’s not an either and or equation at all.”
