Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as Sherlock and Watson from Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes

Summary Though Guy Ritchie's upcoming Young Sherlock show could be amazing, the nature of the prequel means that it could easily fall into a disappointing trap. Since the late 1990s, British director Guy Ritchie has helmed iconic crime movies, including Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. However, in 2009, Ritchie tried his hand at franchises by directing two Sherlock Holmes movies starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law.

Guy Ritchie has another Sherlock Holmes adaptation on the way, this time in the form of the prequel, Young Sherlock - but what about his old star? Though adding characters like Watson may seem natural or like a beneficial piece of fan service, it is actually only going to drag the series down.

How Young Sherlock Can Make Characters Like Moriarty & Watson Work In A Prequel Young Sherlock Could Still Utilize Popular Characters Or Have Equivelent Versions Of Them Though James Moriarty has already been confirmed as a character in Young Sherlock, the character of Watson hasn't yet been announced. In Moriarty's case, the show could establish a young rivalry between Holmes and Moriarty, making him more of an nuisance for Holmes rather than an all-out antagonist.
