Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife, Sophie Hunter, made a rare joint appearance on the red carpet at the New York premiere of his film The Current War on Monday evening.
The couple, who married in February 2015, wore complementary dark ensembles. Hunter, 41, opted for a sheer white dress embellished with a black web design, paired with short black heels and a low bun. Cumberbatch, 43, chose a classic navy blue three-piece tweed suit with a brown knit tie.
The film, which sees Cumberbatch play Thomas Edison, has had a lengthy journey to release. It originally premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2017 but was sidelined following the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Lantern Entertainment acquired the film in 2018, and 101 Studios later secured distribution rights.
Since its initial screening, five scenes have been added and 10 minutes trimmed. The Current War was released in the UK in July and is set for US release on October 25.
