Noel Clarke and Benedict Cumberbatch have joined the cast of Star Trek 2.
Clarke (right) is well known in the Who-niverse as an alumni of the Russell T Davies era of Doctor Who where he played Mickey Smith. More recently he has won the Orange Rising Star BAFTA for his work as a writer/director for Adulthood and 4.3.2.1.
Meanwhile, Cumberbatch (best known as the BBC Sherlock Holmes) looks set to play the villain in his lightning ascension towards Hollywood A-List. He will be adding Star Trek 2 to his already impressive CV of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, War Horse and voice-over duties in The Hobbit films.
Very little is known about their characters (standard JJ Abrams procedure) but it is reported that Clarke will be playing a family man and Cumberbatch is playing a villain alongside Peter Weller (Robocop!) who has already been recruited for a different bad guy role.
