Now that filming is done, Cumberbatch and the movie’s crew members can finally relax. The Hollywood Reporter previously described the sequel’s reshoots as “significant,” with various sources disagreeing as to whether such a long period of additional photography was normal. Screenwriter Michael Waldron was also on hand to pen some new scenes.
