During a question and answer session on Reddit, the actor revealed that the third installment in Guy Richie’s series is now in the works, following the 2011 release of ‘Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows’.
Asked for an update on the film’s status, Downey Jr said, “Yes, we have a Sherlock 3 in development. We want it to be the best of the series, so that’s a pretty tall order.”
Last year, Jude Law told that he believed writing had already begun on the project, but confirmed that at the time Warner Bros had not yet financially backed it. Producer Dan Lin first teased the film in January 2013, when he confirmed that Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3) was working on the script.
This followed an earlier report that Ritchie had signed up to direct the third film, but was planning to base production in Hollywood.
