Altercation Lasted Nearly 10 Minutes

According to the report, the argument continued for around ten minutes before both individuals eventually parted ways. No official complaint or legal action followed the incident.

An eyewitness described the scene as unusually dramatic, saying, “It was crazy. It was such a pompous road rage that it almost felt like it had been staged. Benedict still managed to charm everyone watching, even though he was having a meltdown. The masked guy was obviously some kind of vigilante – he was really taken aback when he saw it was Benedict Cumberbatch, but he doubled down on his rage.”

What’s Next For Cumberbatch?

Cumberbatch is lined up for several forthcoming films, including Wife and Dog, Blood on Snow, Rogue Male, Morning, and Last Flight. However, reports indicate he is unlikely to reprise his role as Doctor Strange in the upcoming MCU blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday.
