Director Dexter Fletcher has shared an update on the upcoming third instalment of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sherlock Holmes franchise.

"Sherlock's hit its own issues on and off. That's sort of sitting on the back burner at the moment until it becomes clear where the world is at and what's going to happen," Fletcher said on 🗹the 🍃.

The movie hasn’t started its principal photography yet, and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rocketman director explained that he and the studio are waiting to see what happens in Hollywood in light of the pandemic before they start w🎃orking on it in earnest.

With so many movies facing delays, it seems a sensible decision – both 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jurassic Park: Dominion recently had to pause production after production members tested positive for Covid-19. And, of course, there’s the seemingly never-ending stream of release date delays.

The 𓂃update comes after Robert Downey Jr., who pl𝔉ays the titular super sleuth in the franchise, shared his thoughts about the potential for a Sherlock Cinematic Universe. 

“At this point, we really feel that there is not a mystery-verse built out anywhere, and Conan Doyle is the definitive voice in that arena, I think, to this day,” he said at . “So to me, why do a third movie if you’re not goi꧃ng to be able to spin off into some real gems of diversity and other times and elements?”

His wife, Susan Downey, is on the same wavelength. “We think there’s an opportunity to build it out more,” she said. “Spin-off characters from a third movie, to see what’s going on in the television landscape, to see what Warner Media is starting to build out, things with HBO and HBO Max.” The pair are bo⛎th producers on the♚ movies.

Sherlock Holmes 3 is currently set for release on December 22 2021. In the meantime, check out the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix movies to watch right now.
