November 2017 brings a new big-screen version of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, this time simply titled The Grinch.

At CinemaCon, Illumination (the animation studio behind Despicable Me and Minions) announced the actor who would be voicing the yuletide-loathing Grinch in the new film. The new Grinch is none other than Benedict Cumberbatch, who producer Chris Meledandri said had a voice that exudes “comedic wickedness while embodying vulnerability.”

How the Grinch Stole Christmas, adapted by writer Michael LeSieur from Dr. Seuss’ book, will be directed by Pete Candeland and Yarrow Cheney, for a Nov. 10, 2017.

Cumberbatch, of course, is appearing in Marvel’s forthcoming Doctor Strange, out Nov. 4.
