Props to Ali. Best interviewer for the Marvel cast hands down ✌🏼

[Victorio]

Benedict is an expert at talking about his projects without spoiling anything

[snoopy]

It’s so refreshing to hear an actor admit to actually reading the comics, instead of just posing with them or going in blind.

[kristinleevlogs]

Benedict is a national treasure! But the two of them together is like a priceless gem!! And to think he was almost a background character lol :')

[ProdCritic]

LISTEN. That goatee reveal was epic. If anyone has earned the right to cameo in a Marvel film, it's Ali and his Plums. I genuinely look forward to his interviews as a companion piece for every film that comes out.

[Potatocius]

Strange is becoming Stark of Marvel, he's in pretty much every movie or at least in mainstream movies

[Nomoredrama]

I love the fact that he was just as annoyed and heartbroken that the IronStrange moment didn't see the light of day as we were. Please release it 🙏🏼

[Vamparina]

The fact that Benedict knows about IRONSTRANGE is giving me LIFE 😭

[peterskorec]

I clicked instantly! Haven’t seen it yet obviously. But as I always say, I assume this is gonna be the best interview of the tour 🤣 Benedict is Hilarious.

[matthewkilner]

I love Ben. I'm so glad he was cast. Like most of the MCU casting, I can't imagine anyone doing it better.

[yedi]

This was the most relaxed and fun interview I’ve ever seen. This guy is so likeable. He’s not just asking the questions but he makes it fun for the interviewee and the viewer. He doesn’t just ask random questions and sound thirsty for answer from them, like Captain cringe from IGN

[LILGHETTI]

Raimi and Dr. Strange seems like a perfect combination. Benedict & RDJ are perfect as well.

[lucapellari]

Poor Tom. So cute, adorable and no one is taking care of him. I just want to hug him. Benedict is alwsome. Benedict is amazing.

[Pablorcct]

love this, Benedict is one of the most likeable & charismatic actors of all time

[hanceibanez]

Loved how colorful and distinct Benedict put life to his character as Doctor Strange! The voice, it's in the voice!

[marvelousedits]

He had him in the first half. 😂. “Pay homage to my favorite MCU character.. Tony Stark.”

[BewareTheJabberwock]

You can always tell the actors genuinely enjoy Ali’s thoughtful questions and genuinely fun comments.

[ubeardave]

Ali is hands down my favorite interviewer. He always has such a great rapport with whoever he’s interviewing.

[Vanessa-mnbf]

benedict saying the word ironstrange transports me back to other times, oh dear lord

[EthanRom]

Loved the movie especially the scenes when he’s in civilian clothing. Something about superheroes doing normal everyday stuff just appeals to me
