As you might expect, both Robert Downey Jr. John Watson, respectively, for "Sherlock Holmes 3. Beyond that, though, the cast of "Sherlock Holmes 3" is a bit of a mystery.
So far there has been no word on whether supporting characters like Inspector Lestrade Eddie Marsan , Watson's wife, Mary Yellowstone 's Kelly Reilly , or even Sherlock's older brother, Mycroft Stephen Fry , will return for the next installment in the exceptionally fun franchise.
But it's also a bit hard to believe that none of them will be back as they all play very important roles within the overarching Sherlock Holmes story.
Another character who plays an integral role in our hero's journey is his arch-nemesis, Professor James Moriarty, played in the second film by Jared Harris — and we're not completely ruling out his return in the third film even though we were led to believe the character died at the end of the second movie. After all, Sherlock was also supposed to have died and obviously that didn't stick. The only snag in this theory is that, as of , the character apparently wasn't in the script via DigitalSpy.
That could have obviously changed, though, given how many times the script seems to have been written and rewritten. Basically, anything is possible. The script for "Sherlock Holmes 3" was penned by Chris Brancato, the co-creator of Netflix's popular crime drama "Narcos," as well as the co-creator of Epix's own crime series, "Godfather of Harlem.
The first "Sherlock Holmes" film saw everyone's favorite clever detective take on Lord Henry Blackwood portrayed by Mark Strong , who died at the end of the movie, so he's not likely to make another appearance in the franchise. Anderson is best known for playing Arthur Shelby, the hard-as-nails oldest sibling in the Shelby clan, in the acclaimed historical crime series Peaky Blinders.
John Watson in the upcoming threequel, which is a relief. When Bryan Singer left Bohemian Rhapsody because the MeToo movement was giving him panic attacks , Fletcher jumped in to finish the film and led it to storm the Oscars.
This year, he directed Rocketman , the glitzy musical based on the life of Elton John. Sherlock Holmes 3 will mark a huge departure for the director. Warner Bros.
Still, with Robert Downey, Jr. The trend right now, thanks to the MCU, is to follow the title of the franchise with a colon and a subtitle. John Watson. The third Sherlock Holmes movie has been in development since , and in that time, a bunch of writers have rolled in and out of Warner Bros. So, right now, it's unclear when the third movie will be able to film. The previous two Sherlock Holmes movies were released in December and since that worked well at the box office, we imagine the third movie will stick with that release window, so maybe December ?
Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law have both been confirmed to return as Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson in the third movie, obviously, since it wouldn't be the same without their bromance.
Professor James Moriarty, played brilliantly by Jared Harris, was seemingly killed off at the end of A Game of Shadows , but we wouldn't bet against a return. So who out of Sherlock's back catalogue of villains will the master detective be up against this time? As mentioned above, Harris would seem like a longshot to return. However, Holmes himself was supposed to have died in that same incident, only for the detective to fake his death and secretly turn up in Watson's office.
Our money would be on a return for Moriarty, with Harris hopefully reprising the role. Holmes without Moriarty is like Batman without the Joker — the two need each other to be truly amazing. Harris doesn't seem that confident on a return though, telling Digital Spy in March that the last script he saw didn't have Moriarty in it. Whether this will have changed by the time we finally get to filming remains to be seen.
