Hannibal? I heard he was going to play Thomas Jefferson!

well actually i heard he was in talks to play Frederik Willem de Klerk, the former SOuth African primeminister and Afrikaner, opposite chris pratt and chris evans who were going to play Nelson Mandela and his rival Mangosuthu Buthelezi. it was going to be an amazing drama about apartheid.
