Fandom may worship them, but to the rest of the world both Hiddleston and Cumberbatch definitely qualify as talented semi-knowns.
If they cast Brad Pitt and Will Smith, on the other hand... (Though Brad Pitt could actually make a pretty amazing Crowley if he channeled the right parts of his abilities.)

Yeah, I saw a made-up poster with Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston and rolled my eyes so hard they almost fell off.
That's ridiculous, there can't be two Crowleys.
I always pictured Aziraphale as Michael Caine for some reason.
Michael Caine has never been bumbling enough in my knowledge of him to fit my mental Aziraphale image.
David Hyde Pierce would make a good Aziraphale.

I could totally see that. On the other hand, to totally cast against type, I'd love to see Kenneth Brannagh play Aziraphale. He'd have to dial the "hello, it is ME, the AWESOME ONE" way back, of course. Way way back. Further . . . further . . . no we can still see it from space. OK, it would be a challenge.
And maybe get the guy who plays Thorin Hottieshield as Crowley? *runs to IMDB* Right, Richard Armitage.

I've seen multiple versions of that sort of poster, and my reaction every time is NO.
I'd love to see Rufus Sewell or Oded Fehr as Crowley, and Simon Russell Beale as Aziriphale.
