Sherlock Holmes 3 is the follow up to 2011’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and the continuation of the journey of Robert Downey Jr.’s version of the titular character alongside Jude Law’s Dr. John Watson. The first two films in the period mystery thriller saga, which were both directed by Guy Ritchie, have a combined $1 billion haul at the global box office against a total production budget of just $215 million, proving that the Sherlock Holmes franchise is a profitable one for Warner Bros.
It’s been over a decade since the second movie in the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes series, and despite Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes 3 being confirmed shortly after A Game of Shadows arrived, the release date for the next RDJ and Jude Law adventure remains elusive. The third film has been stuck in development hell for a few years now, with a slew of writers reportedly working on the movie’s story. Despite that, updates have been coming in, and there’s much to discuss around Sherlock Holmes 3.
