Owner of the best Sherlock Holmes of recent memory, Cumberbatch has proven his talent in the past as Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) or as the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in The Fifth Estate (2013). His portrayal of British mathematician Alan Turing, who cracked Nazi Germany’s Enigma military code during the Second World War, earned him a Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations, and this year, the performer was also nominated for an Oscar for Power of the Dog.
