By Mens Health Staff | May 1, 2021

He’s best known for his roles in the Marvel franchise and as Sherlock Holmes, but Benedict Cumberbatch’s latest transformation is definitely not like any superhero we’ve seen.

Footage has surfaced of Cumberbatch’s new role: campaign manager Dominic Cummins in the tv drama, (working) titled Brexit.

The tele-movie follows the political campaign during the EU referendum.

Cumberbatch’s new look includes a receding, thinning hairline and a much scrawnier frame compared to playing Doctor Strange in Thor and The Avengers.

Filming has already begun, however no release date has been confirmed.

Meanwhile, Cumberbatch next stars in Mowgli, a movie based on a tale from the 1894 classic, The Jungle Book.
