Cumberbatch, 48, plays a character named Uncle Nubar in the movie. Fans can catch a quick glimpse of his style switch-up about two-thirds of the way into the trailer.
"One thing you'll never know because you can't," Uncle Nubar said solemnly. "The truth."
As Uncle Nubar, Cumberbatch sports a black striped suit with slicked-back gray hair, a full, gray beard, and equally silver, bushy eyebrows. His piercing blue eyes are the only feature giving away the actor's identity.
