It's not every actor who can go from Doctor Strange to Doctor Seuss.

Universal Pictures dropped a major casting announcement at CinemaCon in Las Vegas Wednesday afternoon. As it turns out, Benedict Cumberbatch has an early holiday present for all his fans.

E! News can confirm the actor will voice the iconic Grinch character in the upcoming holiday classic Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Set for a November 2017 release date, the movie will tell the tale of the Grinch who plots to ruin Christmas for the residents of his iconic village of Whoville. Pete Candeland and Yarrow Cheney are set to direct the holiday favorite.

Perhaps the movie role comes at the perfect time. After all, Benedict's son will be a toddler by the time the film is released.
