Rocketman, Eddie the Eagle, and (partial) Bohemian Rhapsody director Dexter Fletcher is moving on from biopics about gay British music icons and putting Taron Egerton in ridiculous glasses.
Fletcher is reportedly in talks to helm the third of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law’s Sherlock Holmes movies, which we’re apparently indeed still bothering to make into a trilogy. It seems Guy Ritchie, who directed Fletcher in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels before moving on to Sherlock and now a lame Aladdin reboot, is officially walking away from the franchise.
Sherlock Holmes 3 is expected to hit theaters December 22, 2021, almost exactly ten years since the second film hit theaters. The release date also puts its opening just a week after Avatar 2, a competition of hits originally from 2009 that no one is really that excited to see dragged back out.
