The last time we saw Downey playing Arthur Conan Doyle’s astute detective was in 2011’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, but over the last few years there’s been movement to get Sherlock Holmes 3 off the ground.
Now it’s official that Warner Bros does indeed plan to deliver this threequel to the masses, as the studio has scheduled it for Christmas Day, 2020.
Because Robert Downey Jr. has been so busy playing Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (along with detours for The Judge and Chef), the actor hasn’t been able to revisit the other popular character from the printed page he’s breathed life into: Sherlock Holmes.
