Doctor Strange opened last weekend in America, and the box office was great. I believe they exceeded all of their expectations. The American box office haul was more than $85 million, and in international markets, the film has already made $240 million. Everything’s coming up roses for Marvel, and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange is now fully enfolded into the Marvel Universe. Following Benedict’s turn on Saturday Night Live, it seems like he’s stuck around America for the time being, perhaps to see our Election Day first-hand. Benedict stopped by James Corden’s show last night to do a bit. Bendy treated the story of the 2016 election like it was a scary fairy tale.
I was annoyed by the beige pantsuit joke and the joke about how Hillary wanted to be president too much, but the rest of it is fine. It’s cute, and it’s a nice little bit for two British people to discuss how the American election looks to outsiders.
God… please, everyone get out and vote! We can’t have an orange, baby-handed, p-ssy-grabbing dinosaur as president. JUST VOTE.

Trump is a scarier villain than anything conjured up in any fairy tale or bedtime story, ever.
Terrified, guys. Hold me. Prayers that people finally come to their senses today and vote this orange cheeto voldemort into oblivion.
for real she never wears beige !
Do you want another one, Kaiser?
This is two British impersonators taking off Cheeto Fascismo and HRC on a politics show. Quite understated but some funny bits:

Come on, USA. We’re rooting for you, PLEASE do not inflict the p-ssy grabbing psychopath on yourselves and the rest of us.
I mean, I would like to not end up nuked.
Colin Jost had one of the better descriptions of Trump two weeks ago, on Weekend Update on SNL. He called him a “human air horn.”
Aussie here. I never watch Corden, but just happened to catch this segment a couple of hours ago. I think we get the show a day later? The beige outfit reference annoyed me, too – I can’t recall HRC ever wearing beige. The rest was great, though. One of our TV stations is staying live throughout today to cover proceedings. I can’t recall that ever happening, either. They don’t even do that with our own elections! Good luck, America.
No worries folks. America is going to do the right thing today.
From your mouth etc., etc.
I thought the segment was cute. Thanks, guys, wish you could vote.
This was great.
Still recovering from that stripper sketch and not in a good way.
I voted HRC today! If we lose to Trump do any of you outside of the US want to sponsor me, my husband, and our 4 kids??? 🙂 Win or lose, I’m proud to be American.
Oh God. Vote vote vote! Feel strangely nervous about this. A sense of impending doom. Even friends here in the Uk who have no interest in any politics of any sort are talking about tonight. Good luck America. Im sure sense will prevail.
Every single thing Cumberbatch touches…. etc (read: the exact opposite of Midas).
It won’t be like that for much longer. Everything seems to be going in cycles. I still think he’s Wheel of Fortune will change with timing. Anyway, saw Dr. Strange with my hubby and we loved it! Hope there’s a sequel!
