Speaking on the SmartLess podcast, hosted by Sean Hayes, Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, Cumberbatch claimed Rogue Male by Geoffrey Household is what influenced Ian Fleming to pen the James Bond franchise.
He told The Hollywood Reporter at the time: "I am thrilled both as an actor and producer to be working on bringing this most treasured of English novels to the big screen."
"We haven’t got a filming date yet, but it’s something we’re trying to slate for next year. We will make it, definitely," he told the hosts.
However, he also seemed to tease his return as Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and how that could impact plans: "There are other huge commitments involving cloaks floating about."
Household intended for the dictator to represent a famous historical figure, telling Radio Times in the 1970s: "Although the idea for Rogue Male germinated from my intense dislike of Hitler, I did not actually name him in the book as things were a bit tricky at the time and I thought I would leave it open so that the target could be either Hitler or Stalin."
"The longer we were exploring the themes of it and the motivation behind the guy’s actions, and the outcome, and how he’s turned on by his own side, as well as the side he’s tried to take down, it’s fascinating how it plays into the political spectrum of what’s going on in the world right now."
