Equal pay and a place at the table are the central tenets of feminism. Look at your quotas. Ask what women are being paid, and say: ‘If she’s not paid the same as the men, I’m not doing it.

He also revealed that he’s also working to promote more female-focused stories through his production company, Sunnymarch. Cumberbatch explained about his next project is about “motherhood” against the backdrop of an “environmental disaster.”

I’m proud that [partner] Adam [Ackland] and I are the only men in our production company; our next project is a female story with a female lens about motherhood, in a time of environmental disaster. If it’s centered around my name, to get investors, then we can use that attention for a raft of female projects. Half the audience is female!
