The 36-year-old Cumberbatch is now sporting a platinum wig on set and, according to colleagues, has gotten into the role in earnest.

“If the film reflects what is written in most of the books about WikiLeaks, it will provide a negative attitude towards the portal. Hollywood is definitely not a place where an objective reflection of recent history is possible."
