3. ‘Body Problem’ star joins Guy Ritchie’s ‘Young Sherlock Holmes’ series

Guy Ritchie expands the cast of his Sherlock Holmes series with the star of “Three Body Problem”.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was even more successful at the box office, grossing $543.8 million worldwide. Despite its commercial success, there was never a sequel to round out the trilogy, leaving fans wanting more. A third film in the series has been rumored for years, but unfortunately nothing ever came of it. The most recent glimmer of hope for a third film came from producer Susan Downey, who reportedly didn’t rule out a return to the series, but hinted that the story would have to be right for Downey and Law to return. However, since Ritchie will direct the upcoming film, The young Sherlock series, the chances of ever seeing a third film are decreasing day by day.
