"Avengers: Infinity War" star Benedict Cumberbatch is all set to play Dominic Cummings, the strategist who was the campaign director of 2016's "Vote Leave" campaign in the UK.
The drama "Brexit" (working title), based on EU referendum, is a two-hour project, which will be directed by "Black Mirror" fame Toby Haynes, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
A Channel 4 venture, the show is being described as an "utterly timely and compelling new political thriller from Olivier- and Royal Television Society-winning screenwriter James Graham."
Haynes, who has earlier worked with Cumberbatch in "Sherlock", said the drama will "explore the data-driven political campaign behind one of the most contested, controversial government referendums in modern history."
