Benedict Cumberbatch is a hot commodity in Hollywood right now and he is picking up steam fast. For the past few months the actor has been fielding an increasing number of questions about whether or not he’s been cast in Star Wars: Episode VII. It’s a logical connection too, seeing as the actor has worked with J.J. Abrams before, and it's one that could prove both lucrative and fulfilling for both of them, if it turns out to be true.
