It’s been nearly 10 years since the last installment and both actors have kept incredibly busy. Earlier this week, RDJ teased that he wasgetting ready to jump back into the roleby practicing his “Sherlock face” and now, Law is providing some information about what the story will entail.
Jude Lawwill once again get into his Dr. Watson character forSherlock Holmes 3. In a new interview promotingFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Law was asked about the upcoming Sherlock sequel. While he couldn’t reveal much, he did offer up some interesting storyline tidbits. Law had this to say.
“We hope to propel the story forward. As always, the essence of the story is their codependency. We’re going to examine, since it’s been several years since we’ve seen them, we’re going to play up the fact that they haven’t seen each other for a long time either.”
It looks like art will be imitating life inSherlock Holmes 3since it’sbeen quite a few yearssince fans have seen Robert Downey Jr.’s Sherlock and Jude Law’s Dr. Watson on the big screen together. And while we know that Law and RDJ are reuniting, it is still unclear if director Guy Ritchie will be back to helm the sequel. The director is currently hard at work on Disney’s live-action remake ofAladdin, which is currently in the post-production process.
Robert Downey Jr. is getting ready to wrap up his contract with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will be free to work onSherlock Holmes 3after theAvengers 4reshoots this fall. For now, theSherlock sequel has a December 2020 release date, which means that filming will more than likely start at the beginning of 2019 to stay on track. However, if Guy Ritchie is going to take on the project, it will have to wait until he is completely finished with the live-action remake ofAladdin, which is set to hit theaters on May 24th, 2019.
Sherlock Holmes 3is scheduled to open in theaters on December 25th, 2020 from a script written by Chris Brancato. For fans who just can’t wait that long to see the sequel, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are putting out their own unique take on the iconic duo this Christmas withHolmes and Watson.
