FTN – and all of Geekdom – favourite Benedict Cumberbatch has thrown his hat in the ring regarding two big franchises fans though he would perhaps appear in…
Yes, Dark Horizons picked up on two very telling quotes from Cumberbatch at a Q&A in Sydney, Australia. At the session the actor was asked about the possibility of him being involved in Star Wars and/or Doctor Who, after all he has a relationship with Star Wars Episode VII director JJ Abrams after playing Kahn in Star Trek: Into Darkness and with Doctor Who front-runner Stephen Moffat who also looks after the BBC’s Sherlock starring Cumberbatch as the titular character.
On Star Wars: “I would’ve liked a part in JJ’s new Star Wars but it won’t happen sadly.”
And, continuing the bad news: “I’m never gonna play The Doctor, & nothing to do with the Whoniverse”
So, that’s that… but as we know, never is never never (!) in Hollywood, so don’t fret too much – afterall, Cumberbatch did say he wasn’t Kahn either…
