Meanwhile, Cumberbatch also addresses some rumors surrounding the ominous voice of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer. While a lot of people thought the actor voiced the trailer monologue and maybe was even the Sith Lord featured in the footage, Benedict this week denied these rumors.

"I am not the voice of the Star Wars trailer, nor am I the hooded character with the rather cool new lightsaber," he told  Radio Times, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The latest rumor is that Andy Serkis is the voice featured in the voice over. Watch this movie trailer right here:
