In 2010, before he was a household name and just one year after the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes movie, Benedict Cumberbatch rejuvenated one of the best fictional heroes of all time. Along with Martin Freeman as Dr. Watson, Cumberbatch brought the great detective triumphantly into the 21st century. Now, 14 years after the hit series Sherlock debuted, this influential reboot could be making another comeback. According to Sue Vertue — who co-produced Sherlock with Steven Moffat — there is still a possible “future” for the franchise.
Speaking to Deadline, Vertue said she very much wanted to somehow continue Sherlock. “It’s just getting everybody aligned, it’s getting the actors to want to do it,” she said, a statement that echoes something Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss said back in April. At that time, Gatiss indicated that a movie could be in the works, saying, “We’d like to make a film, but trying to get everyone together is very difficult.”
