Now Benedict Cumberbatch Says "We'll Have To Wait And See" About STAR WARS EPISODE VII
His reps have denied it and Benedict Cumberbatch himself recently told reporters than no offer has been made. Well, while he once reiterates that point, the Sherlock star then goes on to tease his involvement in the Star Wars franchise...doesn't he? Check it out!
Benedict Cumberbatch spent the best part of a year lying about his role in Star Trek Into Darkness; not for any sinister reasons however, as it was instead done in an effort to maintain a certain level of surprise when it came to the true identity of 'John Harrison'. So, is it really hard to believe that he wouldn't be entirely truthful about his rumoured role in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars Episode VII? "Of course I’d love to do Star Wars and work with JJ Abrams again because we had such a good time on Star Trek. But nobody has been cast and there are no offers out to anyone apart from the regulars who are returning. So that’s that rumour quashed." He then apparently grinned, and added: "We’ll have to wait and see." How does he know that offers have only been made to the original cast? Why did he grin? I don't know, but despite his many denials, I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to see Cumberbatch in Star Wars Episode VII. What do you guys think?
