It’s been eight years since Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was released, but a third film starring Downey Jr as the fictional detective is on the way. While Sherlock Holmes 3 was set for release in Christmas 2020, Warner Bros have now pushed the film back a whole year to December 21, 2021. This means there will be a whole decade between the second and third films in the franchise. Nevertheless, fans shouldn’t worry as both Downey Jr and Law are still set to return.
Back in 2016, Downey Jr told Shortlist: “We're talking about it right now. We can do some preliminary stuff.
“If we could shoot it on Skype, we could have the whole [movie] done in a week.
“When we're making those Sherlock movies, it is off the hook. [So] we'll attempt to make one this year.
“It really is a big deal to go and do those movies. I'm tired all the time, but I'm so excited about it.”
