“I don’t know. I keep hearing, I just did a movie with Jude, and neither – no one’s approached either of us,” Marsan revealed. “I don’t know, they keep talking about it and talking about it and it’s been 10, I think it’s been over 10 years, 12 years now. I don’t know. I don’t know. I hope so … hope so. I think I think Jude was fantastic. I’d be up for doing another one so we’ll see.”
Does Guy Ritchie Want To Make Another Sherlock Holmes?
Both Sherlock films were helmed by Guy Ritchie, who is currently promoting his new film, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre. In a new interview with Collider, Ritchie was asked about the long-rumored third Sherlock movie, and the director said it’s ultimately up to Downey Jr.
“Well, honestly, I left this up to Robert [Downey Jr.]. So Robert wanted to be in charge of this. The ball’s in his court, so he’s in charge of the script, he’s in charge of the whole thing. I’ve moonwalked out of that until there’s a time for me to get involved,” Ritchie explained.
A while back, it was announced that a third Sherlock Holmes movie was in development with both Downey and Jude Law expected to return. At the time, it was revealed that Dexter Fletcher would be stepping in to direct.
“Sherlock’s hit its own issues on and off. That’s sort of sitting on the back burner at the moment until it becomes clear where the world is at and what’s going to happen,” Fletcher said in 2020.
“At this point, we really feel that there is not a mystery-verse built out anywhere, and Conan Doyle is the definitive voice in that arena, I think, to this day,” Downey previously said during Fast Company’s Innovation Festival. “So to me, why do a third movie if you’re not going to be able to spin off into some real gems of diversity and other times and elements?”
For now, it doesn’t sound like Sherlock Holmes fans should get their hopes up about a third film.
