New "Hobbit" Trailer Debuts, But It Lacks One Very Critical Element

The first look at The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has a lot of excitement and sweet action. But where is BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH?!

Behold the first trailer, which contains many geek out-worthy elements:

Legolas versus Thorin

Evangeline Lilly as Tauriel!

This! Delightful!

Bard the Bowman has arrived. Luke Evans has a fantastic 'stache

Thorin finally cutting loose and having fun

And a first look at Smaug the dragon

And Yet! And Yet! Nothing of Benedict Cumberbatch's Voice!

C'mon!
