Cumberbatch Joins Star Wars Follow up

Noel Clarke also aboard!The sneaky British infiltration of Qq Abrams' revival of Star Trek's motion picture fortunes continues apace! With Simon Pegg already established as Scotty within the first film (Pegg just jetted to LA to start focus on the follow up), the following addition was Alice Eve, who signed on late this past year. Now a couple of the UK's cleverest filmmaking talents are heading into space, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Noel Clarke introduced as jumping aboard.This being the Abrams/Damon Lindelof/Roberto Orci/Alex Kurtzman Trek world, both actors' exact roles are now being stored a secret for the time being. Variety could search up, however, that Clarke is playing a household guy having a wife and youthful daughter and also the Hollywood Reporter has it that Cumberbatch will put on the role from the villain that Benicio Del Toro had been courted for.Cumberbatch continues to be pinging Hollywood's radar something rotten lately, between his superb focus on the BBC's Sherlock and supporting roles in Mess, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and War Equine. He's recently been clicked up for 2 evil roles, saying yes to experience greedy dragon Smaug and also the Necromancer for Peter Jackson's Hobbit films.Meanwhile, together with his pointing/writing/acting responsibilities such as Their adult years and 4.3.2.1, Noel Clarke already has space (and time) travel experience because of his time spent as Mickey Cruz in Physician Who's TARDIS. This time around, we doubt he'll concern yourself with being viewed as the container dog.Those are the latest inclusions in the cast, which already boasts Peter Weller like a villain and also the coming back regular crew complement, including Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Zoe Saldana and Pegg.Presently known only as Star Wars 2, the film begins shooting shortly and will also be out in america on May 17, 2013.
