Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although it aired its last few episodes in 2017, there has been persistent talk of a Sherlock movie to wrap things up. Co-creator Mark Gatiss recently reaffirmed his commitment to a Sherlock movie, but he was quick to note some of the potential problems that production would face.
A Sherlock movie would face the same problem that seasons 3 and 4 struggled to overcome. Bringing Moriarty back would wreck Sherlock's credibility, but a movie without him is just as worrying a prospect. Moriarty and Sherlock's dynamic was so captivating that any movie villain will undoubtedly be compared to Andrew Scott's Moriarty. Whoever the new villain is, they will need to either outdo Moriarty or provide a new angle.
5 Sherlock Holmes Already Has A Totally Different Movie Franchise With other shows and movies, Sherlock would have to battle against a glut of Holmes media Close The first two Sherlock Holmes movies combined for over $1 billion at the box office with Guy Ritchie as the director, so anticipation is high for the third chapter.
Sherlock gave a major boost to the careers of its two stars, and they both became highly sought after in both Britain and America. Even while Sherlock was still producing new episodes, the patchy availability of Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch caused increasingly lengthy gaps between seasons and an uncertain future for the show. Both actors have joined the MCU, with Cumberbatch in a particularly time-consuming role as Dr. Strange, and they have plenty of other projects on the horizon.
Making a movie rather than more episodes would require some kind of fundamental shift in the way that Sherlock works. Like Luther: The Fallen Sun, the obvious solution is to move toward a more spectacular scale with plenty of action sequences, but this isn't part of what makes Sherlock so popular. The show works so well because of the intriguing mystery and the push-and-pull dynamic between Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch.
