The British star of 40 years, who plays Dr. John Watson in Sherlock Holmes adaptation with Robert Downey Jr. , has revealed that a third component could be in the works. The saga made ​​by Guy Ritchie was inspired by the book series' of Arthur Conan Doylefeaturing an eccentric London detective. 

"We had a meeting earlier this year, all three, and I think they prepare the script," said Law to Digital Spy . "Warner Bros. Has yet to accept the finance ... but I think they're starters!" 

This new Sherlock Holmes  has not yet been officially announced, but Richie has signed a contract last year to carry out the next phase and he would consider turning it in Los Angeles.

Anyway, shooting a sequel to Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows should take a moment to emerge, given the use of overbooked time Downey. 

Having starred in The Avengers  in 2012 and the mega-blockbuster Iron Man 3 , the 48 year old actor is currently filming the comedy of Jon Favreau ,  Leader , and also as a result of Avengers , Age of Ultron at its agenda.

As for Law, before resuming his role as accomplice of Holmes and solve other crimes, he has other fish to fry. It is already waiting in Dom Hemingway , a thriller with black humor in which he plays a safecracker very funny - and dangerous-alongside Richard E. Grant .

It also takes a role in choosing the next comedy West Anderson ,  The Grand Hotel Budapest , on employees of a large hotel in Paris in the 20s.
