Henry Cavill’s 3-Part Detective Franchise Surges on Netflix Ahead of Sequel
Henry Cavill is hard at work this year filming his highly anticipated fantasy reboot, Highlander, and while the film likely won’t hit theaters until next year, Cavill has plenty of other projects to hold fans over in the meantime. He recently reunited with director Guy Ritchie for a new action movie, In The Grey, which also stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Rosamund Pike. After bombing at the box office, the film has gone on to become a smash hit around the world on VOD platforms like Prime Video. In The Grey marked the third time that Cavill had worked with Ritchie, after the two previously teamed up on other projects like The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (co-starring Armie Hammer) and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (co-starring Alan Ritchson).
However, before he stars in the massive sci-fi fantasy reboot that is Highlander, Cavill has a much different project officially coming this summer. He will reprise his role as Sherlock Holmes in the third and likely final Enola Holmes movie, which will be released on Netflix on July 1, the same day as X-Men ‘97 Season 2. Before Enola Holmes 3 begins its streaming run, fans are rushing to check out the first two installments, which has led them back into the global top 10 in a handful of countries around the world. In addition to Cavill, the Enola Holmes movies also star Millie Bobby Brown in the titular role, who is best known for her performance as Eleven in Stranger Things. The third Enola Holmes movie will send Sherlock’s sister to Malta for a new case, which may prove to be the toughest she’s faced yet.
What Are the First Two ‘Enola Holmes’ Movies About?
A condensed synopsis for the first two Enola Holmes movies as released by Netflix reads as follows:
“Sherlock’s bold teenage sister Enola Holmes solves mysteries no one else can crack, first tracking her vanished mother and a runaway young lord through a dangerous conspiracy, then opening her own detective agency to investigate a missing factory girl. Both cases expose corruption reaching society’s highest levels.”
After Harry Bradbeer directed the first two Enola Holmes movies, Philip Barantini has been tasked with directing the third installment. Barantini is also known for his work as a director on the massive Netflix miniseries, Adolescence, which released last year. The Enola Holmes movies are perfect for Sherlock Holmes fans for obvious reasons, but the films also have a splash of Harry Potter in them for those seeking another young, coming-of-age adventure.
Check out the first two Enola Holmes movies on Netflix and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Enola Holmes 3, which comes out on July 1.
