Benedict Cumberbatch Cast As Star Trek 2 Villian

If you don’t know who the incredibly British named Benedict Cumberbatch is do yourself a favor and hop onto Netflix and watch Sherlock from the BBC. There are three 90-minute episodes and there are amazing. The second season started on January 1st in the UK and should show up in America in a few months. Now once you’re done with that you can go see War Horse or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy or you can envision him as the voice of Smaug the Dragon to his Sherlock co-star’s Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit next year. Guy is set to be loved by geeks everywhere for a while.

Now onto the fun. There have been multiple people up for the role of the villian in the Trek Sequel and they were all Spanish speaking types that led people to believe we would be getting a rebooted Kahn. Now we have the Whitest, most British, non Kahn, we can keep speculating for months!
