I really should not get so excited about a rumor, but...
After the BAFTAs, Supporting Actor winner Martin Freeman let slip that Benedict Cumberbatch will be in The Hobbit.
Speculation has commenced as to what role he might have. I think every major character is cast by now, but you never know. My guess would be either some bit part cameo (as an elf or something to do with the Necromancer subplot, maybe... considering his slight physique and height), or some larger part that is mostly voice work. He has a long CV of voice work, and that voice! Like a panther growling from inside a cello. He'd make a lovely Smaug.
I suppose this is a wait-and-see type of situation. But I don' wanna.
ETA: People are saying that Bard hasn't been cast yet, so that is another possibility. Hm.
