BEN IN FANTASY WORLD
HE’S already leant those commanding tones to a short film of Dungeons And Dragons – and now Benedict Cumberbatch has signed up for the real deal.
The Sherlock star has been cast in the movie version of the fantasy role-playing game.
He joins a stellar line-up that includes Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Bridgerton’s British hunk Rege-Jean Page.
A movie insider said of the actor, who voiced the dragon Smaug in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: “After narrating the animated film, Benedict couldn’t not be in the film version.
“Filming has been in the UK too, so it was convenient for him travel-wise.”
The blockbuster, which is expected to be released in 2023, has been seen shooting on location at Wells Cathedral in Somerset.
Snaps reveal a number of sword fights, rowing boats and dry ice.
There have also been sightings at Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, with extras seen in the fantasy-themed costumes.
The last D&D film came in 2000 and starred Jeremy Irons and Zoe Mclellan, but it absolutely bombed.
But I can’t imagine that happening again with this line-up.
