The Graham Norton Show is adding even more star power to its famous red sofa, as Benedict Cumberbatch will be visiting later this month.

In case you've been living under a rock, Avengers: Infinity War is being released at the end of April – so no doubt Benedict will be hyping up Marvel's huge blockbuster, in which he plays Doctor Strange. He features on the April 20 episode.

Joining him will be Matt LeBlanc – whose most recent Top Gear series has concluded and who stars in Episodes – and Maxine Peake, who appears in the Paddy Considine movie Lucky Cow.

Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa are providing the music, performing the single 'One Kiss'. Plus, the epic Benedict Cumberbatch-Mary Berry meeting will finally take place, when Mez and fellow Britain's Best Cook presenter Claudia Winkleman also join the coach.

The Graham Norton Show returned for a new series last Friday (April 6), featuring Cumberbatch's Avengers co-star Tom Holland as well as Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, and Kylie Minogue.

This Friday (April 13), Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson will be swinging by again, accompanied by Marvel and Black Panther star Martin Freeman, Naomie Harris, and Roger Daltrey.

Infinity War opens on April 26 in the UK, but looking ahead, Benedict has said that he is unsure when the sequel to 2016's Doctor Strange will begin shooting.

"The masterplan is continually in flux, so it would be out of order for me to speculate," he said last month.

The Graham Norton Show airs on BBC One.
