Benedict Cumberbatch is channeling his inner rancher in the character poster of Netflix's The Power of the Dog.

The film, that also stars Kirsten Dunst, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Jesse Plemons in pivotal roles, is based on the 1967 Tomas Savage novel of the same name.

In the new art work shared by Netflix, Cumberbatch is seen wearing a grey denim shirt with braces over his shoulders. The actor also dons a hat and a beard with dirt smudged on his face. 

The Sherlock actor's new role requires him to play a controlling monster whose daily duty involves riding horses and working with animals.
