Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange in full costume in 2016
Summary A bad accent can easily ruin a movie, but this isn't always the case. Sometimes, a movie can still go down as a classic, even if a non-American actor fails to nail the accent. British, Irish and Australian actors often get picked for important roles in Hollywood, and their success is partly measured by their ability to fit in with the locals. However, this detail won't necessarily make or break their performance.
Before joining the MCU, Cumberbatch's most famous role was one of the most iconic British characters ever created, Sherlock Holmes. Doctor Strange has been in several Marvel movies, allowing Cumberbatch to work on his accent and build confidence. In Netflix's 2024 psychological thriller Eric, Cumberbatch's American accent shows signs of massive improvement compared to Doctor Strange.
Craig goes for broke with a strange accent that doesn't scan as natural but still fits in perfectly with the tone of a crime caper. He appears to base his American accent on some part of California, but he keeps inexplicably drifting into the Midwest or perhaps Canada.
