Star of Sherlock, a role in War Horse and a bit part in office favourite Nathan Barley, the best name in Hollywood has just landed the role of the unnamed villain in the latest Star Trek film production. Also playing the voice role of a dragon in the Hobbit film, Cumberbatch is going for a Michael Fassbender style ubiquity on our screens.

The role of the villain was originally touted to Benicio Del Toro, but after a breakdown in fee negotiations the actor walked away from the project. Whilst Del Toro’s large frame seemed perfect to appease the fanboys clamouring for a new take on Khan surely there is no reason why the most famous nemesis of the franchise (sorry Borg) could not be played by the spindly thespian.

Joining the British contingent on set with Cumberbatch and Simon Pegg will be Noel Clarke. Reports suggest that he will be playing a ‘family man’ in a step away from the tower block thuggery roles he has become famous for inhabiting. No doubt if he’s wearing a red Starfleet shirt he’s going to die…still.
