Sherlock Holmes 3 was earlier set for a release on Christmas Day next year in 2020, almost a decade after the first two instalments released: Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. While the film has no director to it, it seems like Robert Downey Jr. will return to reprise the role of Sherlock, while Law will play his sidekick Watson.
