BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH WOULD LOVE TO DO A SOLO ACT

Benedict Cumberbatch is no stranger to being part of beloved film franchises. Earlier this year, he played the villain role of Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness, and he will be reprising his role as Smaug/Necromancer in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, opening in theatres tomorrow.

Rumors are also flying that Cumberbatch wants to be a part of the next Star Wars film which J.J. Abrams is directing.  Abrams also directed him in Star Trek Into Darkness. To star in any Star Wars film would be a dream come true for anyone, including Cumberbatch, who told us that he was a Star Wars fan growing up and has always fantasized about being Han Solo.
