In fact, they were having a stellar 2012 in 2011&#8211;Freeman was already filming &#8220;The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey&#8221; and Cumberbatch is expected to contribute his part to the film as Smaug and the Necromancer, both Cumberbatch and Freeman were finishing up on Series 2 of &#8220;Sherlock&#8221; (which is AMAZING), Cumberbatch had a secondary role in &#8220;Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy&#8221; (which is still in theaters now!) and now, news has come out that Cumberbatch is going to be the main villain in J.J. Abrams&#8217;s &#8220;Star Trek 2.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/new\/Star-Trek-2-Casts-Benedict-Cumberbatch-Villain-28648.html\">CinemaBlend<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2012\/01\/star-trek-sequel-hires-hot-british-actor\/\">Deadline<\/a>, Cumberbatch nailed the audition for what is being called &#8220;a lead role,&#8221; and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.variety.com\/article\/VR1118048137\">Variety<\/a> reported that it is the same role Edgar Ramirez tried out for last month. It was heavily rumored that the villain would be Khan, but before writing this article, I looked up this same story up on several other entertainment sites, and everyone&#8217;s saying that Cumberbatch&#8217;s not playing Khan, so I think it&#8217;s safe to assume that Cumberbatch is not going to play Khan. Besides, can you picture Cumberbatch playing Khan? I would go along with some other people saying that his intense cheekbones would suggest that he&#8217;s playing a Vulcan, but I bet he&#8217;s playing some obscure villain that will turn out to be awesome. <\/p>\n<p>What do you think about this, and who do you think Cumberbatch will play?
