Looks like Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr have some competition in the world of Sherlock Holmes. Sir Ian McKellen is the latest star taking on the role of the famous detective.
The movie is an adaptation of Mitch Cullin's novel A Slight Trick of the Mind. The story is about the 93-year-old detective hoping to complete a case that even he can't solve.
"So many splendid actors have already played the part but none of them had Bill Condon directing. I’m the lucky one: and I’m excited,’ McKellen said.
