“Thor needs a big hug, he’s really traumatized,” Cumberbatch said of the beefy Asgardian, who lost his entire planet in Thor: RagnarokOpens in a new tab and his brother Loki in Avengers: Infinity WarOpens in a new tab. Cumberbatch also said he’d gift Bruce Banner a wellness retreat (“somewhere calming”), Steve Rogers a time machine (so he could reunite with Peggy), Loki “better sideburns,” Tony Stark “a little bit of oil” just to freshen up the Iron Man suit, and for Wanda Maximoff, a dating profile after losing her love, Vision, in Infinity War. “Maybe it’s a bit too soon, but you know, she’s gotta live her life and Vision would want that for her.”The Doctor StrangeOpens in a new tab actor recently lent his voice to The GrinchOpens in a new tab, the latest big-screen adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s classic holiday novel How The Grinch Stole Christmas, where he played the titular gifts-snatching green guy, so he probably knows a thing or two about presents. We’d say he mostly nailed his picks, although poor Wanda may disagree.
