Millie Bobby Brown is an untamed spirit. The young actress has always felt that females must carve their own paths and be whatever they want. This is why she loves to play characters that can inspire young women. Even she has admitted this several times that Enola Holmes is her favorite portrayal. She loves this headstrong woman whose courageous nature and intelligence charmed the worldwide audience. But do you know that Brown’s beloved role once left Netflix and Henry Cavill in a huge problem?

Back in 2020, after the release of the debut film, Enola Holmes viewers got the chance to take a look at the personal life of Sherlock Holmes. Although the story puts Millie Bobby Brown in the mainframe, it did reveal that the world-renowned detective’s family is equally sharp and talented, just like him. This was the first time fans saw some lost emotions that we never saw in any of the adaptations before.

Henry Cavill brought the caring and empathic side of the character on the screen other than the rational thinker who is always surrounded by big detective cases. However, this unique arc stirred controversy and Arthur Conan Doyle’s estate sued Netflix. The lawsuit claimed a breach of copyright because the mystery film was for presenting him with a new sensitive light.

According to Guardian, the novels have always depicted Sherlock as “aloof and unemotional” while the movie showed something else. When asked about the lawsuit the former Superstar instantly dodged questions regarding it. However, within a short period, the lawsuit was dismissed and Netflix saved one of its gems from getting discarded.

Netflix reached a settlement with the charging party 

According to the same publication, the defendants asserted that human traits are not something that one can protect. Whether it’s feelings, personality, or emotions, they are not something that can be contained in a box. “Copyright law does not allow the ownership of generic concepts like warmth, kindness, empathy, or respect, even as expressed by a public domain character–which, of course, belongs to the public, not the plaintiff,” they said.

In addition, Author James Lovegrove stated that if anyone wanted to sue the streamer, they should be done it for Mycroft Holmes, who is not depicted in his true character. As per the writer Holmes are not without emotions, but maybe they show ones that people don’t often like.
