He's been teased as many different comic book heros and villains. But who will Benedict Cumberbatch play in a CBM, if he ever does play in one?

Benedict Cumberbatch is a fantastic actor. Well known for his roles as Sherlock Holmes in the hit BBC show Sherlock and as Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness, Cumberbatch has gained huge recognition in the comic book community. I have seen him in many fan casts as both heroes and villains, but IMO, there is only one role that Mr. Cumberbatch can play.



Eobard Thawne aka Professor Zoom in Flash

A sadistic speedster from the 25th century, I have strong feelings about this role as Cumberbatch has already played a villain out of time role in Star Trek. His role as Sherlock Holmes shows he has the intelligence to play this particular villain. I would love to see this type of casting happen. But this is all my opinion.

What do you guys think? Would Benedict Cumberbatch not make an awesome Professor Zoom in a Flash film, or even in the upcoming TV show? What about roles you personally would love to see him in? Leave your thoughts bellow.

Flash is rumored for a 2016 theatrical release, and he is set to make his live action TV debut in Arrow Season 2.
