Benedict-Cumberbatch-benedict-cumberbatch-31816608-1280-854Why Benedict Cumberbatch? At the moment, Benedict Cumberbatch is one of the acting world's hottest properties. His star is firmly on the rise with roles in blockbusters like The Hobbit: Desolation Of Smaug and Star Trek Into Darkness as well as more low-key fare like political thriller The Fifth Estate so, in terms of marketing, casting him would be an incredibly smart move. But it's not just about how much money his presence would rake in. Cumberbatch's rapidly accelerating career is down to the fact that he's an incredibly talented actor, particularly when it comes to playing characters with complex personalities and a lot of depth to them like Sherlock Holmes. And that proficiency for such an in-depth portrayal as well the fact that he simply exudes charisma when onscreen is a prime reason for why he should be a cornerstone of the Episode VII cast. Who Could He Play? A Sith Lord or a high ranking Imperial Officer similar to Grand Moff Tarkin. Who do you think should be cast in Episode 7? Let us know in the comments section below...
