The 52-year-old "Black Mass" star has taken the role of the titular character in the Paramount animated film, reported Ace Showbiz.
"Sherlock Gnomes" is the follow-up to 2011 animated movie "Gnomeo and Juliet" which starred James McAvoy and Emily Blunt.
The first movie earned USD 200 million worldwide and gathered solid reviews, prompting Paramount to launch a sequel plan.
In the new film, Gnomeo and Juliet look to legendary detective Sherlock Gnomes to investigate a string of garden gnome disappearances in London.
McAvoy and Blunt will be back to voice Gnomeo and Juliet once again. No other stars from the first film such as Michael Caine and Jason Statham have been confirmed to return.
"Sherlock Gnomeo" will hit theatres on January 12, 2018 during the MLK holiday weekend.
