A third installment of the Robert Downey Jr.-led film series seems to be just as elusive as one of Sherlock Holmes’ cases.
The Big Picture There have been more films about Sherlock Holmes than almost any other character in the history of cinema. Similar to iconic screen heroes like Robin Hood, King Arthur, Tarzan, Zorro, and the Three Musketeers, Sherlock Holmes belongs in the public domain, meaning that any filmmaker or studio can make a film about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved detective.
By 2009, Robert Downey Jr. gave us his take on the classic detective Sherlock Holmes in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. The film became a surprise box office hit, as it turned the traditionally straightforward premise of a Holmes film into a much more exciting action-adventure epic.
An announcement that the film would be pushed back another year came with surprising news about its director; Ritchie would be replaced as the film’s director by Dexter Fletcher, who was hot off the success of the 2019 biopic Rocketman. Downey’s schedule was now freed up, as Avengers: Endgame had marked his final appearance as Tony Stark in the MCU. While it appeared that Sherlock Holmes 3 might actually start moving forward, the film was pushed once more due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
