“People [who] like the viral pictures of me and an otter will go and see a film about a violent gangster. Yay!” Cumberbatch joked.

Although he does make an adorable otter, Cumberbatch put on a very different face to channel the brother to a scary gang member (Depp) in his latest film. Check out the chilling trailer for Black Mass below.
