The actor plays 93-year old Sherlock Holmes, who works on a final case in the upcoming film Mr Holmes, directed by Bill Condon.

In this version, John Watson is not in the picture, and Sherlock must attempt to solve the greatest – and final – mystery of his career alone, with nothing but a fading memory and a now-defunct deductive prowess.

Ian recently reprised his role as Magneto in X-Men: Days of Future Past, the sequel to X-Men: First Class. – Rappler.com
