He’s famous for playing smart and slick characters, from Sherlock Holmes to Alan Turing to Dr Strange.
And Benedict Cumberbatch is taking on another suave and sophisticated character, as he was spotted filming scenes for the miniseries Melrose on Sunday.

Rocking several heavy parka jackets, the Dr Strange star kept cosy between takes, as he filmed scenes outside of a building made to look like a glamorous hotel.
As the camera rolled, Benedict was spotted collecting a paper bag from someone nearby, perhaps hinting at the story within the dark miniseries.
Playing the titular character Patrick Melrose, Benedict will tell the story of the infamous playboy based on the novel series by Edward St. Aubyn.
Each book will follow one episode of the five-part series, about playboy Melrose and his deterioration into substance abuse after a difficult childhood.
Framed around several intense days in Melrose’s life, the series will jump from 1960s South France to 1980s New York to early 2000s Britain.

Fans will be surely be excited to see the star back on screen, though his most recent role has been delayed in light of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.
The Current War, in which the actor plays legendary inventor Thomas Eddison, was scheduled for release in November, but the Weinstein Company picture has since been delayed to 2018.
