Benedict Cumberbatch lent his distinctive voice to the role but he also acted as the fantastical beats. Special effects experts used motion capture technology to make the dragon’s movements realistic. Cumberbatch appreciated how they captured his eyebrows’ motions and other minute details (via Insider).
