‘Sherlock Holmes 3’ Moved Back a Year to December 2021

Looks like the mystery of the delayed sequel will take a bit longer to solve, as Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow announced Monday that the release of “Sherlock Holmes 3” has been pushed back a full year. The still-untitled follow up to 2011’s “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows” will now hit theaters December 22. 2021, instead of December 25, 2020.

The first two films — 2009’s “Sherlock Holmes” and 2011’s “A Game of Shadows” — were directed by Guy Ritchie and starred Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson, respectively. It is not known if Downey and Law will return for the third outing.
