Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man in The Avengers with money

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Robert Downey Jr.'s return to the Sherlock Holmes franchise has long been expected, but it now appears that he's lost his successful series. One of the biggest roles Downey got after Iron Man helped revive his career was as the iconic British detective Sherlock Holmes in a new movie franchise spearheaded by Guy Ritchie for Warner Bros. His debut came in 2009, and he returned for the sequel in 2011.

Sherlock Holmes 3 Looks Less Likely After New TV Show Announcement Ritchie Is Developing A Sherlock Holmes Prequel Show Close The likelihood of Sherlock Holmes 3 happening suddenly decreased upon the announcement that Guy Ritchie is developing a new Sherlock Holmes TV show. The series will follow a younger version of Sherlock Holmes played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin. Guy Ritchie is set to direct all eight episodes of Young Sherlock for Prime Video.

Development on Sherlock Holmes 3 continued throughout this period, but it never made substantial progress as Downey remained tied up as Iron Man. The script was constantly rewritten, and potential plans for filming to begin were repeatedly delayed. Warner Bros. even went as far as announcing a December 2020 release date, hoping that Sherlock Holmes 3 would be one of Downey's first major post-MCU projects.
