The Real Reason Benedict Cumberbatch Refused To Speak To Kirsten Dunst For The Power Of The Dog

 Netflix's new Western drama "The Power of the Dog" features what some critics are calling a "career-best" performance from Benedict Cumberbatch (via IndieWire), and if you look at the "Doctor Strange" star's acting methods, it's easy to see why.

While on the set of the acclaimed Jane Campion film, Cumberbatch remained in character at all times — portraying himself as a cruel and vicious uncle named Phil Burbank who lives on a 1920s Montana ranch with his brother George and sister-in-law Rose, who are played by real-life couple Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst. Throughout the movie, Phil is put off by Rose's presence as well as her son, Peter, who is played by Kodi Smit-McPhee. Phil despises Rose so much that he forces her to become an alcoholic with his nagging and torturous ways. It was because of this plot element that Cumberbatch chose to remain in character, especially when Dunst was around. 




Speaking to NME in a new interview, the "Sherlock" actor described what exactly went into making his Phil hate Dunst's Rose so much and just how important it was for him to maintain this hatred — with Cumberbatch going so far as to not even utter a single word to Dunst throughout the entire shoot.
