The first film was released in 2009 with its sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, dropping only two years later in 2011 with Robert Downey Jr taking on the titular role and Jude Law bringing as Dr Watson.
But now director Guy Ritchie, who helmed the first two films, has updated fans about the possibility of an upcoming film, promising that "the appetite is there".
"I know the appetite for it's there, but the appetite for it from our side is there, too. So, we'd love to make that happen. I just don't know how it's going to happen. It's amazing that it hasn't happened."
In 2019, it was reported that Rocketman director Dexter Fletcher had been brought onto the project to take over from Guy Ritchie on the franchise for the third film.
Production even got as far as being given a rough release window of December 2021 but for unknown the reasons, the film never came to fruition.
Sherlock Holmes has received many successful TV and film adaptations over the years, with MCU favourite Benedict Cumberbatch taking on the role in BBC's Sherlock from 2010 to 2017.
Guy Ritchie has also continued to bring the character to life in the 2026 Prime Video series Young Sherlock starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Holmes.
