The site reports that the list consists of two names for the time being, the first being Star Trek Into Darkness and "Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbatch with the other being Tom Hardy of Bronson and the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road, whose The Dark Knight Rises co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt was previously linked as a potential candidate for the role.

Really? I honestly think he's the best choice. Definitely the best from who I've seen considered.

I think either one would be an amazing choice.

Reasoning behind this?

Just curious because, while there may be other actors equally suitable for the role, Cumberbatch is damn near perfect for this.

Any of the recent Dr Whos would be good.

Cumberbatch would be the better choice of these two without a doubt.

Strange is a lanky, nerdy dude, particularly at his origin. Hardy is built like a brick shithouse.

Tom Hardy's voice as Bane has made him a joke in my eyes.

The man looks like a Steve Ditko drawing. It's obvious casting

You realize his voice in the TDKR was altered in post.

In all honesty, I am not a fan of Cumberbatch. There just is something about him that I don't like.

I just don't like him as an actor for some reason.
