Benedict Cumberbatchhas been a celebrated actor for quite some time, but he may have reached the apex of his career in 2021. Within twelve months, Cumberbatch starred in the underrated spy thriller The Courier, played against type in the war drama The Mauritanian, played a meaningful role as Doctor Strange in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for his performance in The Power of the Dog. Given how much praise he received, Cumberbatch wasn’t given the credit he deserved for playing the titular role in the biopic The Electric Life of Louis Wain. While it wasn’t necessarily about a historical figure that audiences would have been instantly familiar with, The Electric Life of Louis Wain showed the blend of idiosyncrasy and sincerity that has made Cumberbatch such a compelling actor.
