On the press tour for Guy Ritchie’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E., his producing partner Lionel Wigram announced that they were working on a third Sherlock Holmes movie.
“We’re working on a Sherlock Holmes 3 script” Wigram told IGN. “I think we would all love to do one if we could come up with something that really was really going to knock it out of the park and was going to be the best of the three. So we’re working on that – it’s quite hard to do.”
He also added that both Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law were, “very, very interested” in reprising their roles.
