Benedict Cumberbatch Heading Back to Host ‘Saturday Night Live’
Benedict Cumberbatch is heading back to Saturday Night Live! The actor will host the May 7 show with Arcade Fire as a musical guest.
The gig will no doubt be to promote his next film, a smaller project called Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which premieres the Friday before on May 6. This will be the star’s second hosting appearance on the late-night show, the first coming in 2016 to promote the first Doctor Strange film.
