Benedict Cumberbatch walks into a Manhattan comic book store in full superhero regalia, magic cloak billowing behind him, leafs through a few periodicals and asks the owner for a job. It sounds like the start of a bad joke but this episode actually happened during the final days of filming of the upcoming Doctor Strange, the British actor revealed on Thursday. The 14th film in Disney's "Marvel Cinematic Universe" was about to wrap and the 40-year-old was running up Fifth Avenue toward the Empire State Building when he and director Scott Derrickson spotted the store and decided to go in. Cumberbatch joked, "I didn't have any money - I offered my services. I said if the film doesn't work out I'll come and stack the shelves."
