That's right, the Sherlock, Fifth Estate, Hobbit, Star Trek, 12 Years a Slave, and War Horse actor is set for his close up in the upcoming Star Wars VII. Films Chronicles leaked the news to the press today. You can trust their sources because they believe in news more then rumor. Honestly he's the perfect type for the roles leaked this summer. I wasn't thinking of him at all, but now that the rumor(probably true, I'll explain why in a second) has had time to sink into my mind there hasn't been a single flop for him, critically. With his upcoming films, The Fifth Estate, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Twelve Years a Slave he is sure to please me even more. Now if you look back all the way to late 2012 when the news broke of Star Wars VII promoting Star Trek Into Darkness, Cumberbatch said that he was interested in a role.Total Film reported that "He had Star Wars closer too his heart, it influenced him as a kid." Whether or not this is true is still a mystery, but a very intriguing detail is left open. Cumberbatch dropped out of Del Toro's Crimson Peak which happens to be, now that we know the production dates for Star Wars VII, filming at the same time. Guillermo is a great director and writer it's hard to pass up a film with him. That begs the question, Is he really in Star Wars VII? Star Wars VII is a bigger deal so I could imagine him dropping out for his childhood dream.
What do you think of him being cast? Comment below and follow me on this blog, Blogbuster411, http://blogbuster411.blogspot.com/. Bookmark my page for more. Star Wars VII is set for 2015, possibly Christmas or late December.
