It's no secret that Sherlock Holmes 3 has been in development hell for around a decade. With the last sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, hitting theaters late 2011, it seems as though Warner Bros. has had a hard time getting it off the ground.
Due to the business and scheduling conflicts of both Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr., it has been a hot minute since they appeared as the iconic literary duo on the big screen. Last year it was announced that they are officially on board for a third installment, but according to the latest reports, we'll have to wait a year loinger to see it.
According to Deadline, Sherlock Holmes 3 has changed its release date, shifting from a December 2020 debut to Christmas 2021. To be exact, the film will make its way into theaters December 22, 2021, in direct competition with Wicked, Hotel Transylvania 4 and Avatar 3.
The reasons behind the changes are unknown, but the news came with intriguing details. The studio has made way for an untitled live-action event film to replace Holmes' Christmas 2020 date - The Trench, perhaps?
