Anyone else looking forward to seeing this?

Notice the three main characters are being played by actors connected with super heroes/villains.

1. That looks good!

And Tesla pops up at the very end of the trailer!

3. This is the first time I've seen anything about this movie.

A couple of years ago I read The Age of Edison: Electric Light and the Invention of Modern America which was absolutely breathtaking. And with all due respect, based on that preview, the book was vastly better.

4. Look, if it has Benedict Cumberbatch in it, I'm going.

5. It looks like a movie I'd enjoy.

I was always interested in the dynamics of the electric "wars", and there are some fine actors in it. Cumberbatch and Shannon, but I missed who was playing Tesla. Michael Shannon has been around a long time, and he's finally getting some roles commensurate to his talent. I generally like anything he's in.

OK, this is going on the "must see" list. Thanks for posting it!

7. Nicholas Hoult is Tesla.

 

From the Wikipedia article about the film, the first three entries in the cast list:

Benedict Cumberbatch as Thomas Edison
Michael Shannon as George Westinghouse
Nicholas Hoult as Nikola Tesla
