Sherlock Holmes 3 and the Unprecedented Scenario of the New Film

The actor who brought to life the beating heart of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with his Iron Man will return to play Sherlock Holmes in the third chapter of the saga directed by Guy Ritchie. After the successful films Sherlock Holmes (2009) and Sherlock Holmes - A Game of Shadows (2011), the trilogy is finally preparing to come full circle, and surprises should not be lacking.

The project has experienced years of uncertainty: postponements, script changes, and the pandemic have slowed everything down. Now, however, Susan Downey, the actor's wife and executive producer, has revealed new details. The new adventure could take place in the United States, a risky choice that would break with the London tradition of literature's most famous detective. "We've always thought about an American setting, and I think it's a fascinating idea," she declared.

An Unexpected Scenario for Holmes & Watson

However, it wouldn't be the first time Holmes has set foot overseas: in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet, there are references to the Salt Lake City desert, linked to a murder case connected to a religious community. This could offer inspiration for an unprecedented and evocative setting.

With Jude Law ready to return as Watson and Guy Ritchie's unmistakable touch at the helm, Sherlock Holmes 3 aims to surprise more than ever, bringing back to the big screen the detective of Baker Street's extraordinary intelligence and messy irony.
