Guy Ritchie's latest flick, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, starring Henry Cavill, may not have quite lived up to expectations, leaving fans and critics alike, feeling underwhelmed. However, it seems that Ritchie is not one to dwell on setbacks. Despite having 3 films miss the mark in 13 months, he is already gearing up for his next project. Although his project with The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’s center stage star did not bring him much fortune, another of the lot sounded promising with moving forward for a new series.

Henry Cavill's second world war movie fell short at the box office collection, maintaining the streak of B-list movies. This time, however, not him, but one of his co-stars has tied up with Ritchie once again, which is all set to be based on one of Cavill's iconic characters. 

According to the latest reports by Variety, the Sherlock Holmes director has teamed up with Amazon Prime for a new Holmes series starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin as the lead. The actor starred alongside Henry Cavill in the last Guy Ritchie movie together, but did not attain much glory. The famous detective was once played by Cavill in Enola Holmes along with the likes of Robert Downey Jr. whom Ritchie did cast for his Sherlock movies. With Tiffin as the lead for the eight-episode series, a new face of the detective is in town. 

Speaking of the series, the director revealed that it is to revolve around a young Sherlock Holmes with an unseen “exhilarating version” of the detective, no one has ever imagined before. “We're going to crack open his enigmatic character and find out what makes him tick,” said Ritchie to the outlet. Based on the book franchise named Young Sherlock Holmes written by Andy Lane, the upcoming journey would walk through Holmes’ early life and how he molds himself into “a genius we all love”, added the director.
