RDJ Sherlock Holmes 3 has a date!
https://www.comicbookmovie.com/action/sherlock_holmes/sherlock-holmes-3-officially-announced-for-christmas-2020-robert-downey-jr-jude-law-set-to-return-a160360
Christmas 2020! Hard to believe it'll have been nine years since A Game of Shadows... I'm just glad to have Downey and Law back for a third caper!

Finally this development hell project gets off the ground! I do wonder what the plot would be?
Now only if we can get National Treasure finally off the ground. Teasing it for 8 years and counting!

I'm hoping for a mix of Hound of the Baskervilles and Adventure of the Empty House, personally... but that's a long shot.

I'd love it if they did Hound. My favorite Holmes story.

I was wondering if this was going to ever happen.

Every new Iron Man movie would send me into a grumbling fit...
"Oh, sure, RDJ has time to play Iron Man a seventh time in Spiderman Homecoming, but God forbid the man do a third Sherlock Holmes movie!!!"

Has RDJ really been the hold up? I always assumed it was Guy Ritchie busy doing his uber budgeted stuff that keeps failing.

I'm pretty sure the holdup has been RDJ. The man's been in a Marvel movie almost every year... Avengers 2012 Iron Man 3 2013 Avengers 2 2015 Civil War 2016 Spiderman 2017 Avengers 3 2018 Avengers 4 2019 Look at that. Literally a Marvel movie every year since, except for 2014. He's definitely been the holdup.

Sherlock Holmes has a date? Who is she?
Okay, I couldn't resist. The thread title was just begging for that one. Had to get it out.....

I love the theme song, very medieval/periodic feel to it.

I've been waiting for this to happen for a while. Downey Jr. absolutely nails this role and his chemistry with Jude Law is spot-on.

Finally!
My favorite version of this SH version is that Watson is actually competent and cool character as opposed to usual deal, when he is either a furniture or an idiot. |

I'll watch this but something about the first two Holmes movies just doesn't click with me. I think it's the camp factor, the Guy Ritchie-isms (which I love in all of his mobster movies) and this sort of... whimsy in them. I don't dislike them entirely and find them entertaining enough, but I can't help but sit there watching them constantly wishing this same cast exported into other, more serious and straight-up Holmes movies.

I also like RDJ's version better than Benedict Cumberbach's version.

Yeah, it made a lot of money and part 2 is already greenlit.

Hopefully this one will not reveal the villain at the beginning of the movie..or even the middle.
