Summary
For an actor as fertile as Robert Downey Jr. , he has only seem in one franchise outside the MCU , which has yet to relinquish its third entry , Sherlock Holmes . In 2009 , RDJ had just asterisk in the 2008 mega - collision , Iron Man , which launched the world ’s largest and most profitable dealership to date , the MCU . However , this period was also betimes in RDJ ’s climb back to the top after having a tough number of years in Hollywood where he struggled with addiction and legal troubles .
The actor was always incredibly talented , and debate his career began when he was a child , he had already appeared in legion labor . However , in all this time , RDJ never landed a spot in major franchises until theMCU andSherlock Holmes , both of which end up releasing close together and instantly becoming classic for me . obviously , the MCU took off in a immense way , andSherlock Holmesmanaged to be fabulously successful with its first and 2nd entries , but thefranchise look to have been on an indefinite holdfor over a decade .
As much as I love the BBC ’s Sherlock , the latest update on its future makes me feel relieved that a 5th season or moving-picture show might never fall out .

RDJ star as the titular hero from the Arthur Conan Doyle novels in 2009 . This initial picture show managed to clear a spectacular $ 524 million against a budget of $ 90 million ( vixBox Office Mojo ) . This figure becomes even more telling when compared withIron Man , which did bring off to commit in more with a entire box office of $ 585 million , but that also came about as a result of spending an additional $ 50 million on the budget of the movie ( viaBox Office Mojo ) . Evidently , both franchises were a immense success , but with the MCU sinking one C of millions into legion projects and releasing multiple film in a year , Sherlock Holmesnever brook a chance .
RDJ also starred in other films that could have develop into series , such asDolittle , but the films failed to trance the public ’s attending . out of doors of enfranchisement , RDJ has experienced considerable success with major films like Christopher Nolan’sOppenheimer , for which RDJ win an Oscar . However , I ca n’t help but sense a twang of unhappiness whenconsidering how incredible he was as Holmes , and the lack of development due to the sequel being so smothered . But until the third entry is free , RDJ ’s Sherlock story remains incomplete .
Why Sherlock Holmes 3 Needs To Happen
Sherlock’s Story Is Incomplete
The thing is , Downey is one of the best performing artist I have ever seen in the function of Holmes . standardised to his MCU co - star , Benedict Cumberbatch , he is exceedingly thinking , and capable of delivering a execution that puts him on the fringe of club , while the character appear to keep and take in everything . RDJ ’s version of Sherlock Holmeshas a certain charmand an demented constituent that adds to the character , and realise the film a joy to look out . likewise , his carbon monoxide gas - star inSherlock Holmes , Jude Law , has fantabulous chemistry , and delivers an eldritch performance as John Watson .
TheSherlock Holmesstories also have a wealth of stuff and adventures that could be adapt and explore , and there is no shortage of ideas about what the third entree could be about . But , perhaps the most definitive reason whySherlock Holmes 3needs to be made , is the fact thatSherlock Holmes : A Game of Shadowsset it up in no unclear terminus . The 2011 sequel ends with Sherlock mysteriously fall back from what appear to be a sure destruction , only to raise questions about his dodging , and whether his narrative was truly complete .
There are quite a few Sherlock Holmes projects in exploitation for moving picture and goggle box , and most of them are curiously using the same account trick .
Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes adapts the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with an all-star Hollywood cast. Set in 1890, Sherlock Holmes follows the eccentric but brilliant detective Sherlock (Robert Downey Jr.) and his partner Watson (Jude Law) as they solve various mysteries around Victorian London.

Why Sherlock Holmes 3 Is Taking So Long (& Will It Happen?)
Or Will The MCU Block The Way Once Again
in brief afterA Game of Shadowswas secrete , the third entry in the franchise was confirm . However , it seem that RDJ ’s attention and effort werepulled aside to the MCU with an increasingly busy scheduleof visual aspect across the enfranchisement . Then , in 2024,news about the thirdSherlock Holmesmovie once again set out to circulate as executives involved in the production shared bright update regarding writers and talent such as RDJ and Law reelect to their familiar roles .
However , with RDJ having just been announced to return to the MCU in a novel content as their upcoming bragging badness , Doctor Doom , it appears his attention will once again be divided . As much as Sherlock Holmes is a profitable film for Warner Bros. , and may be a keen convulsion for Downey , the MCU is significantly more lucrative , and evenly demanding . Downey is jell to look in bothAvengers : Doomsday , where he will have a leading role in 2026 , andAvengers : Secret Warsin 2027 , in accession to anywhere else the fibre could pop up . This could mean thatSherlock Holmes’long awaited sequel suffers from even more delays if the studio do n’t represent fast .
