According to "Variety" the latest one to join DreamWorks upcoming biopic on WiliLeaks founder Julian Assange is Scottish star James McAvoy.

HOLLYWOOD SPY has reported before that Benedict Cumberbatch is taking the lead role of the famous freedom fighter and human rights hero Assange while McAvoy will be portraying Daniel Domscheit Berg, whose book "Inside WikiLeaks: My Time With Julian Assange At The World's Most Dangerous Website" serves as the basis for this biopic. The role was previously meant for Joel Kinnaman while the lead role was originally planned for Jeremy Renner. Julian Assange launched the WikiLeaks website in 2006, recruiting Daniel Domscheit Berg to join the site a year later with promises that the duo would change the world. The site came under fire when several diplomatic cables were released that embarrassed many world leaders. Domscheit Berg claimed that he left the site due to Julian Assange's lack of journalistic integrity.
