''They scrimped and saved to get their only son the very best education possible. And I took that education threw it all in their face and became an actor anyway. To this day, one of the reasons I get out of bed in the morning is to make them proud of me,'' Cumberbatch told The Lady magazine.
The actor, who was last seen in Avengers: Endgame, will be reprising his role as Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange in the recently announced second stand-alone on his Marvel Cinematic Universe character.
Titled Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the film will be directed Scott Derrickson.
The Marvel Studios project is scheduled to be released on May 7, 2021.
