Benedict Cumberbatch joined forces with Elizabeth Olsen aka The Scarlet Witch for ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’. Speaking about Elizabeth, Benedict had told ETimes, “She’s wonderful, she’s like a breath of fresh air. She’s the real light and force of nature. She just steps on set and everybody just kind of gets in the mood. She doesn’t take that ability or herself seriously and yet when she’s doing it, she’s mesmerising to watch. She’s a fine actress and very good friend.” Ahead of its release, ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ had raked in Rs 10 crore in advance bookings.
