Although Sherlock will complete its second run on U.S. television on Sunday night, it won't take much detective work to track down the future whereabouts of its star, Benedict Cumberbatch.

The 35-year old Brit, recently voted The Sun's Sexiest Man thanks to help from his rabid Tumblr fanbase, has a long line of roles ready to for the big screen.

Cumberbatch held a series of supporting movie roles in 2011, including best picture Oscar nominee War Horse and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but he will take a more leading part in a series of upcoming tentpoles. He is shooting J.J. Abrams' Star Trek sequel -- he was cast thanks to an iPhone audition -- in which he will play a villain. Rumors around the web have him taking on the role of the classic baddie Khan, though that has not been confirmed.
