When asked about his character development, Cumberbatch discussed the multi-layered persona of Doctor Strange and the difficulties of portraying many versions of him. He said, “I was able to show more diverse versions of him through the multiverse. It also showed a lot of possibilities for what could happen with his decisions and choices.” Cumberbatch also added that the role was quite introspective, “The growth of the protagonist in the film is a very important factor and in this film, the evolution of the protagonist is revealed in several versions so you can look deeply into the answer to the question, ‘Who is Doctor Strange?’”
