I’d be remiss if I also didn’t mention Grinch is just the latest pre-existing fictional character that Benedict Cumberbatch has gotten to put his stamp on, as along with Sherlock Holmes, he has also portrayed Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek Into Darkness, Smaug in The Hobbit trilogy, Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Shere Khan in Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle.
Along with Benedict Cumberbatch, the movie featured the voice talents of Cameron Seely, Rashida Jones, Kenan Thompson, Angela Lansbury and Pharrell Williams, among others.
With a $508.8 million worldwide haul, The Grinch has become the second highest-grossing Christmas-themed movie of all time, trailing only behind the classic Home Alone.
