According to Variety, Thor actor Tom Hiddleston will be replacing Benedict Cumberbatch in Legendary Pictures 'Crimson Peak' from director Guillermo Del Toro. Cumberbatch had left the film in August for unknown reasons(with many speculating that he would be in Star Wars Episode VII). This isn't the first time in the film's production where they had to replace cast members, as in June Mia Wasikowska had replaced Emma Stone. The haunted house thriller is set to start filming next February, based on a script co-written Del Toro himself.

He's too nice for Constantine. Not gritty enough.

I think it would be mind blowing to get these two guys in one film.
