It’s not clear if he’ll return to the detective role or not Robert Downey Jr. might be returning to the Sherlock Holmes universe — but he may not be playing the character.
The former Holmes actor is set to executive produce two new Sherlock Holmes universe series that are in early development at HBO Max, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Perhaps the largest outstanding question about these new Sherlock Holmes shows is whether or not Downey Jr. will reprise his role as the titular sleuth.
We also don’t know if this Holmes universe will be interconnected, or if it will simply include many different series about the world’s most famous detective.
