As a seasoned movie-goer and critic with over three decades of watching films under my belt, I must say that the prospect of a third Sherlock Holmes adventure starring the inimitable Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law is music to my ears. Having grown up on the classic Conan Doyle stories, the opportunity to witness these modern-day incarnations of Holmes and Watson once more is truly exhilarating.
The third movie in the “Sherlock Holmes” series starring Robert Downey Jr., as confirmed by Jude Law who plays Dr. Watson, is reportedly moving forward. In an interview with “The Playlist”, Law shared that a new draft of the script for the possible follow-up has been written, but he hasn’t had a chance to read it yet.
For approximately a decade, I’ve been part of a process that has seen the plan gradually taking shape and transforming. There’s an immense determination among us to see this through, and we are all committed to getting it just right – finding the necessary time, assembling the ideal team, and ensuring its successful execution.
The filmmaker emphasized that his long-standing friendship with Downey Jr. and producer Susan Downey was a major factor in making the third movie. He stated, “What I truly cherished from those two films is my friendship with Robert and Susan. They hold a special place in my heart.” He went on to commend Downey Jr.’s exceptional behavior on set, labeling it as “exceptionally brilliant, entertaining, driven, and uplifting.

The multimillion-dollar series, launched back in 2009 and culminating with “A Game of Shadows” in 2011, has encountered various challenges during its production phase. Despite earning a staggering $1 billion worldwide on a total budget of just $215 million, the third installment has had trouble coming to fruition.
Susan Downey, the producer, has expressed continued enthusiasm for another movie, assuring that the idea is “still deeply cherished within us.” She mentioned to Screenrant in June that they are persistently seeking the optimal storyline direction. “Each day we discuss, ‘What could be the best next iteration of this?'” she said. “Whenever I get to see Robert and Jude together, which happens a few times a year, I can’t help but ask myself, ‘Can I bring these two actors back on screen together again?’ It’s truly magical.
Ever since its greenlight in 2011, this project has undergone significant transformations that I’ve been eagerly following. In 2019, the news of Dexter Fletcher stepping up as director instead of Guy Ritchie really piqued my interest. Additionally, Chris Brancato, who co-created Narcos, was brought on to craft the screenplay. Regrettably, the anticipated release in 2021 didn’t happen, I suspect owing to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nevertheless, some pragmatic factors are still in question. Essentially, it seems there’s a fresh version of the script that hasn’t been reviewed yet. Additionally, questions about its cost and feasibility of production arise.
It may be difficult to coordinate, given that Robert Downey Jr.’s busy schedule includes playing Doctor Doom in Marvel Studios’ upcoming films, Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, which are set to start filming in early 2025. This implies that the possible production timeline for Sherlock Holmes 3 might extend into late 2025 or even early 2026.
In the last scene of the movie, it appeared as if Holmes had given up his life to vanquish Professor Moriarty, portrayed by Jared Harris. However, in the very end, he made a surprising reappearance, leaving room for various narrative paths in a potential sequel. This ambiguous ending could inspire a third installment that either follows elements from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s novels or introduces a completely fresh enigma.
As progress unfolds, Warner Bros. is pushing ahead with “Young Sherlock,” a prequel series helmed by Ritchie and featuring Hero Fiennes Tiffin. This step demonstrates their unwavering confidence in the franchise’s future prospects.
