It’s also lovely to hear an actor as well-known as Cumberbatch happy to make contacts to help out a lesser-known actor.
However, there have been hints that he will return for the next season of Iron Fist, so perhaps he and Cumberbatch will appear on screen together at some point in the future. Iron Fist season 1 is now available on Netflix.
Obviously, no-one is suggesting that Dhawan only got the role because of his work with Cumberbatch, as he is a fantastic actor in his own right.
The Defenders will arrive sometime in the summer, with The Punisher coming later this year. Daredevil seasons 1 and 2, Jessica Jones season 1, and Luke Cage season 1 are now available on Netflix.
