Do you remember back in the day prior to when the Marvel Cinematic Universe started dominating every facet of pop consciousness? Back then, Robert Downey Jr. had the time to take on the Sherlock Holmes role in two films, with Jude Law playing his trusty ally Watson. Recently, Downey’s commitments to the MCU have taken a priority over his Sherlock films. However, now with his tenure as Tony Stark coming to an end, a third Sherlock film will be hitting theaters in 2020. Law recently detailed that the possible plot of the third film might likely focus on the difficulties experienced by the duo when they try to separate.
“We hope to propel the story forward,” Law shared with Entertainment Weekly. “As always, the essence of the story is their codependency. We’re going to examine — since it’s been several years since we’ve seen them — we’re going to play up the fact that they haven’t seen each other for a long time either.”
In the original two films, Watson attempted to address how more often than not, Holmes brought nothing but stress and violence into his life. It was his hope to move away from investigating mysteries and to pursue a more domestic lifestyle with his wife. In both of the previous films, Watson reluctantly agreed to aid Holmes. Law believes that the new film would seemingly explore this theme over the course of a longer period of time.
While Law’s comments don’t necessarily confirm the plot, they do offer us the insight that the character dynamics will be the driving force of the third film. This is only the latest tease of the upcoming film, with Downey having shared a message with his fans on Twitter last week that he is getting ready to reprise the role.
With another hint about the upcoming Sherlock Holmes from Jude Law, does his storyline sound like something you would like to see further developed? Pull out your magnifying glass, examine the evidence and give us at GVNation your theories.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
