Is Henry Cavill Returning for Enola Holmes 3? All We Know So Far

As a seasoned lifestyle expert with a penchant for cinema, I must say that the anticipation surrounding Enola Holmes 3 is palpable, and rightfully so! The series has been a breath of fresh air, showcasing strong female protagonists and intriguing mysteries.


There’s been lots of talk about whether or not Henry Cavill will be part of Enola Holmes 3, just like people have been waiting to see him reprise his roles as DC’s Superman and The Witcher. The movie series, adapted from Nancy Springer’s books, is planning a third installment focusing on the exploits of Enola Holmes, Sherlock Holmes’s younger sister. New information about the project keeps popping up.

In late 2023, it was confirmed that production on Enola Holmes 3 would begin next year. The film is eagerly anticipated by fans, who expect the original cast to return for this third installment. Particular attention is being paid to Henry Cavill’s role as Sherlock Holmes, as many are looking forward to his portrayal of the beloved detective in the upcoming movie.

Now, with Enola Holmes 3 getting ready for another possible blockbuster, it seems that most of the high-profile cast members have agreed to return. It’s no surprise that Millie Bobby Brown will once again play the title character, Enola Holmes. However, there’s uncertainty surrounding her co-star, Henry Cavill.

Although his appearance is crucial for the plot development, there’s been no formal announcement about Benedict Cumberbatch resuming his role as Sherlock Holmes. At present, the 41-year-old actor is busy with various projects, including the wrapping of Guy Ritchie’s movie “In the Grey,” which is scheduled for a 2025 release, and heading the new version of the film “Highlander.”

I’ve learned that Louis Patridge may step into the role previously held by Viscount Tewkesbury, joining Susan Wokoma as Edit and Adeel Akhtar as Lestrade in the production, according to ProductionWeekly’s latest updates. Here’s hoping for a successful return!

As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share that while Enola Holmes 3 hasn’t officially appointed a director yet, there are whispers that Harry Bradbeer might return to take the helm for this upcoming installment. The script is being crafted by Jack Thorne, who has been instrumental in penning the stories of the previous two films, making it a reunion of sorts between these talented individuals.

Initially intended for cinema screenings, Enola Holmes (released in 2020) ended up streaming on Netflix due to pandemic-related closures worldwide. The move turned out beneficial for Netflix’s audience, securing the future of the franchise with its cast returning for a successful second installment in 2022.

Last November, Scott Stuber, who was previously in charge of Netflix Films, hinted at a possible third installment, as reported by Collider. At the same time, he praised Warner Bros.’ approach to the Sherlock Holmes intellectual property, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law.

The Netflix representative expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of expanding the Enola Holmes franchise with Brown’s involvement. To achieve this, they are focusing on creating a new screenplay. In other words, they aim to continue the franchise with another production.

As a fan of both Stranger Things and Netflix originals, I was thrilled to learn that the 20-year-old star recently completed filming for the final season of my favorite show and also appeared in the Netflix movie Damsel earlier this year. With each new project they take on, it’s clear that their talent continues to grow, and I eagerly anticipate what exciting roles they will tackle next in their promising career. Having grown up watching their work, it’s amazing to see how far they have come, and I can’t wait to see where their journey takes them next.

In the subsequent films, Enola Holmes strays from the original storyline and develops its unique plot. Though the creators aim to continue being influenced by Nancy Springer’s book series, the mysteries that will be revealed in the third installment are unexpected.

In fact, it’s clear that Enola will boldly defy conventions and confront her older, somewhat grouchy sibling, Sherlock, all while pursuing an intriguing path of mysteries as the lone female detective in Victorian-era London.

Enola Holmes and Enola Holmes 2 are available to stream on Netflix.
