Benedict Cumberbatch's Dr. Strange does a kid's birthday party for Jimmy Kimmel
Marvel's Doctor Strange is coming out next week, and its star, Benedict Cumberbatch, made an appearance (literally) on Thursday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live. The premise of the skit is that Kimmel hired Cumberbatch's Marcus Strange to perform at a children's birthday party. It goes about as well as you'd hope. "I don't understand — are they possessed?" Dr. Strange asked when Kimmel showed him the children. "Basically," Kimmel said. "They ate, like, 50 cupcakes." "All right, I'll vanquish them," Strange replied. "No, no, no vanquishing," Kimmel said. "Just pull a rabbit out of somewhere, do tricks." Cumberbatch's Strange protested that he does not do "tricks," but everybody has a price. And he almost abided by the no-vanquishing rule, too. Watch below. Peter Weber
