This installment will see the detectives up against James Moriarty (Jared Harris), called “the most formidably criminal mind in Europe.” A new female face will also join the cast -- Noomi Rapace, who played Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo films. She’ll play a mysterious gypsy woman.

The second trailer for the film focuses much more on the action rather than the signature banter between Downey and Law. Only one scene right at the end really showcases their back-and-forth wit. Most of the trailer involves brawls, explosions and chase scenes.

Guy Ritchie’s sequel to his 2009 film, Sherlock Holmes, is set to open in theaters on Dec. 16.
