10 Insane Movie Rumours That Could Totally Happen
3. Johnny Depp In Sherlock Holmes 3
Can you believe it's been almost 10 years since the release of Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows? Well, Sherlock fans, it seems that the wait will soon be over with the third cinematic instalment of the deerstalker detective set to be released in December 2021.
The Sherlock series has had an armada of acting talent come through the doors of Baker Street; whether it be series regulars Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law and Rachel McAdams or gruesome villains such as Mark Strong or Jared Harris. Although the series already featured enough A-list talent to rot your teeth, there is reason to believe that Johnny Depp will be featuring in the upcoming Sherlock film adding more icing to that delicious acting cake (the sweets metaphor has really fallen apart here... like a soggy bottomed coffee cake).
After being dismissed from Fantastic Beasts 3, Depp may still get a chance to star in another third film instalment after RDJ allegedly managed to rope his celebrity pal on board to join the fun.
Depp has already shown countless times he can play an eccentric, charismatic villain and would fit perfectly into the role of say a Charles Augustus Magnussen, London's most notorious blackmailer.
