&#8220;The ball&#8217;s in..&#8221; &#8211; Guy Ritchie Makes a Major Revelation About the Third Installment of &#8216;Sherlock Holmes&#8217; Featuring Robert Downey Jr

Guy Ritchie brought Sherlock Holmes to the modern world through the big screens
back in 2009. With mysterious, periodic sets and Robert Downey Jr’s appeal, it
ended up becoming an instant fan favorite amongst mystery lovers. The massive
box office success paved the way for a sequel titled Sherlock Holmes: A Game of
Shadows. But more than a decade later, there is a wait and hope for Sherlock
Holmes 3 that refuses to give up.

While plans about making the third installment have been in discussion for the
past few years, there has been no movie yet. The director has now explained the
reason behind the wait, and the fate of the detective’s on-screen presence.


GUY RITCHIE REVEALS THE FATE OF THE THIRD PART OF ROBERT DOWNEY JR. STARRED
SHERLOCK HOLMES

There has been a long buzz over the making of Sherlock Holmes 3, but no
developments have taken place regarding the same. Speaking to Collider, director
Guy Ritchie revealed
[https://collider.com/sherlock-holmes-3-guy-ritchie-comments/] how Robert Downey
Jr will decide the fate of the movie. “The ball’s in his court, so he’s in
charge of the script, he’s in charge of the whole thing,” the director revealed.
Ritchie will step in only when required and has left the responsibility to the
actor to decide on things.



The move was initially scheduled to release in 2020. However, like most
Hollywood projects, things got disrupted due to the COVID-19 lockdown, and the
project began fizzling out. They then roped in Dexter Fletcher to be the movie
director after his success with Bohemian Rhapsody. Notably, the speculations
regarding the third installment began in 2016 itself, but with 2023 beginning,
there are still no confirmations.

Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law last appeared for the project in 2011 and are
expected to reprise their roles for the next chapter as well. Here is a look at
how their initial plot began, and the news that was leaked regarding the next
idea.


HOW SHERLOCK HOLMES 3 PLOT LEAK SHOWS A DIFFERENCE FROM THE ORIGINAL PART

The first part showed the detective and the Dr. fighting to prevent evils that
plan to control Britain with supernatural forces. Meanwhile, the second part
took them on a journey to Britain to deal with the main antagonist, Professor
Moriarty.

There have been several unconfirmed leaks of part 3, including the addition of a
journalist named Sidney Bloom. The villain for this part was to be showcased as
an American politician with his plans for a major criminal conspiracy. However,
it will be seen if the Iron Man actor gives any confirmations for the movie
anytime soon.
