Benedict Cumberbatch has committed to only taking on projects in which his female co-stars receive equal pay.
“Equal pay and a place at the table are the central tenets of feminism.
“I’m proud that [friend and business partner] Adam and I are the only men in our production company; our next project is a female story with a female lens about motherhood, in a time of environmental disaster,” Cumberbatch adds.
“If it’s centred around my name, to get investors, then we can use that attention for a raft of female projects.

Cumberbatch can currently be seen in “Avengers: Infinity War,” which may well surpass the box-office take of “Black Panther,” as well as the Showtime miniseries “Patrick Melrose. »
