Beloved actors Benedict Cumberbatch and John Malkovich will voice new characters in its Madagascar spin off The Penguins of Madagascar.

Cumberbatch will voice a “high-ranking animal CIA agent” trying to take down the film’s “charming villain” voiced by Malkovich, according to The Wrap.

The Dreamsworks penguin project, which the studio hopes will be as successful as its animal-heavy Madagascar franchise, is scheduled to hit theaters in March 2015.

The Penguins of Madagascar will be directed by Bee Movie’s Simon J. Smith. The Madagascar franchise’s executive producers will all return for Penguins.

The Penguins already have a television show airing on Nickelodeon (from 2008 to present) and a straight-to-DVD movie released in 2010.

Cumberbatch can next be seen in Sherlock series 3, which is scheduled to hit British airwaves before the end of this year. He also voices the dragon Smaug in the upcoming Hobbit sequel The Desolation of Smaug for Peter Jackson.

Malkovich has been in a slew of movies lately including major ones like Red 2 and Warm Bodies.

Thanks, The Wrap.
