Benedict Cumberbatch should play every character. Bam! Best movie ever.

Okay, now to get serious: I'd like to see him play Adam, at least. I think he'd make a great Adam. And I'm curious: what about the trailers and WoR? The biggest concern about a RWBY movie that I'd have (aside from having meaningful storytelling be overshadowed by spectacular action, as Hollywood is good at doing) is how it would appeal to non-RWBY fans. The trailers, especially Blake's, give insight into the characters themselves and do tie into the show (Weiss does this twice, once with the Black trailer and once with the Yellow trailer). WoR gives exposition that couldn't be smoothly inserted into the show. In general, a lot about the world and characters of RWBY is explained outside of the show. Movies like The Avengers, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the Harry Potter trilogy do a great job of appealing to people who haven't necessarily been exposed to the source material. Could a RWBY movie do the same? True, it has much less to explain than the examples I've given, being a younger and less detailed series, but I still think that the concern is valid.
