Sherlock Holmes to Live Again in a New Original Novel

Perhaps the most memorable moment comes from Downey’s brief appearance dressed as a woman, which he admits is “not my best disguise.” Fans previously got a taste of this new look from the teaser trailer, but now we see a bit more of the story.

In the sequel to 2009’s Sherlock Holmes, Professor Moriaty (Jared Harris) proves himself as Holmes’ intellectual equal, while using his capabilities to create a murderous puzzle. Trusty sidekick Dr. John Watson (Law) aids Holmes’ in his attempt to unravel Moriaty’s web, as well as gypsy fortune-teller Sim, played by Noomi Rapace.

Directed by Guy Ritchie, the film also stars Eddie Marsan, Kelly Reilly and Geraldine James. It hits theaters on December 16.
