The Sherlock star said he would love to take on the part of the classic comic book character despite the role in the upcoming superhero movies Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and The Justice League already being given to Ben Affleck, reported Contactmusic.

When asked which character he'd most like to play during a Q&A at DreamWorks Animation's San Diego Comic Con, he said, "Batman, I guess. Yeah." However, Cumberbatch, 38, may have to wait some time to take on the role after it was reported the Argo star is set to play the winged-hero until 2019.

Meanwhile, Cumberbatch is also set to reprise his role as Sherlock in the eponymous BBC series next year.
