It has been reported that Robert Downing Jr and Jude Law have already signed on to do the sequel.

Richie worked with Pitt on the film Snatch in 2000 and did think of Pitt for a cameo role in the latest film , but it now seems that Pitt will play Holmes arch enemy in the sequel a tipster has told Popeater.com

“The director, Guy Ritchie, loves Brad. He has worked with him before and thinks he is one of the most underrated actors working today. Guy knows that everyone thinks of as a Pitt as a pretty boy and can’t wait to turn him into the world’s greatest supervillain. It will definitely make the sequel a must-see.”

Ritchie has really made a name for himself doing these types of films but Ritchie has said that he wanted to move away from being slot into doing just one type of movie.

Ritchie has also said that he wanted to do a movie for the cinema to prove he was a versatile filmmaker.

Ritchie said “I just felt that I wanted to move away from what it was that I’d been associated with and what I’d had enough of doing, to a degree. “Then ‘Sherlock Holmes’ landed on my desk and I felt as though I could help to reboot an otherwise rather dusty, iconic literary hero.”

Ritchie has also said that he ignores all the criticism he gets over not casting a British actor to play the role of the lead detective and choosing Robert Downey Jr instead.

Ritchie says “People have asked me, ‘Why didn’t you cast a Brit’?’ The whole point is that you employ actors to act and Robert Downey Jr. is dramatically talented. And, also, his English accent is better than mine.”
