Badass Ravi Kumar’s ending largely focused on [Spoiler Alert] Ravi Kumar delivering a precious diamond necklace to Carlos Pedro Panther, who wanted to give it to Laila. Now, Laila had an important reel full of pictures of confidential documents and whatnot that had been secretly procured by Carlos’ spies from the Indian government in order to deliver it to a rogue Pakistani extremist named Syed Bashir. Carlos would’ve gotten it directly and then handed it over to Bashir for a price, but Laila intervened and used the reel as her bargaining chip to get the necklace. Since Interpol’s Mahavir Ahuja and the Indian police’s Commissioner Awasthi want to stop Pakistan from gaining any kind of upper hand against India using that reel and disrupting the relatively peaceful atmosphere between the neighboring nations, they sent in Ravi Kumar. Given how Ravi Kumar didn’t know the location of the reel,...

It has been openly observed by the world's many Marvel Movie fans that Iron Man and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) are very alike, even down to their origin stories. Iron Man was once a brash, overconfident playboy, skilled at engineering, and happy to womanize. After being kidnapped by terrorists, however, he had a chance to reflect on his selfishness and used his isolation to invent a high-tech suit of armor that would, when correctly deployed, rid the world of weapons of mass destruction. Doctor Strange, meanwhile, was once a brash, overconfident playboy, skilled at surgery, and happy to womanize. After a terrible car accident, however, he had a chance to reflect on his selfishness and used his isolation to study mystical arts.

Strange went seeking his redemption, while Iron Man came upon it by chance, but their redemption arcs run parallel. Also, Iron Man was a tech-based character while Strange used magic,...

This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" episode 7, "We're Gonna Be In So Much Trouble."

"Skeleton Crew" has been the refreshing, wonderfully family-friendly gift that keeps on giving, and this week was no exception. After paying tribute to the likes of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Goonies" last week, episode 7, titled "We're Gonna Be In So Much Trouble," has featured yet another treasure hidden away via an exciting "Sherlock Holmes" cameo.

When the show's young heroes and Jod (Jude Law) land back on At-Attin, the former's parents are seen being briefly held by safety droids before an announcement is made to them and the rest of the planet's locals. The voice belongs to the unseen "Supervisor," the presumed head of At-Attin's mint reserve operation. He's polite, direct, and charmingly British -- and precisely what you've come to expect from none other than comedian, writer, and actor Stephen Fry.

As rumors about Sherlock Holmes 3 continue, so do talks about the potential stories it could cover, and if it does happen, Robert Downey Jr’s Holmes can do a much better version of the story that ruined the BBC’s Sherlock. The Great Detective’s stories and accompanying characters have been adapted to all types of media for over a century, and on the big screen, one of the most successful and popular adaptations was Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movies, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the famous detective.

Released in 2009, Sherlock Holmes follows Downey Jr’s Holmes and Jude Law’s John Watson as they go after serial killer Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong). Sherlock Holmes was a critical and commercial success, making way for a sequel also directed by Ritchie, titled Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. The sequel sees Holmes facing his archenemy, Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris...

Robert Downey Jr.’s rise to fame is the ultimate Hollywood glow-up. In his early career, of course, he was the charming, talented actor in films like Less Than Zero and Chaplin, but his personal life was a bit of a mess. His struggles with addiction and legal issues kept him in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, and his paycheck didn’t match his potential.

Yes, he wasn’t exactly swimming in cash before Iron Man, making decent money but nothing that screamed “superstar.”

Then came Iron Man in 2008, and that’s when everything changed. Downey Jr. didn’t just play Tony Stark, he literally became Tony Stark. His snarky, charismatic performance turned him into a box-office magnet, and suddenly, he was Hollywood’s golden boy. The salary that once barely scraped the surface? Gone.

After Iron Man,...

Sherlock Holmes 3 still a possibility?(Photo Credit – YouTube)

Yes. Producer Susan Downey, wife of Robert Downey Jr., gave fans a glimmer of hope that this long-awaited sequel isn’t just smoke and mirrors. In an interview promoting Sweet Tooth Season 3 on Netflix, she revealed that the project is still very much alive—though progress feels as slow as Sherlock solving a jigsaw puzzle.

Susan Downey spilled the tea to Screen Rant, saying, “Every day we talk about, ‘What is the best next version of that?’ Anytime I see Robert and Jude [Law] together, which fortunately, I do get to see a few times a year, we hang out, and I’m just like, ‘Can I get these guys back on screen together?’ It’s magic. There needs to be a really strong reason, it needs to be a great story, and we do have some things in the works.” Translation:...

It's been more than a decade since Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows ended, but this long wait is perfect for Sherlock Holmes 3. The second movie in Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock Holmes franchise left a clear door open for a threequel, and it was assumed that one would come shortly after its 2011 release. However, all these years later, there is still only tentative news about Sherlock Holmes 3. This is a bit of a disappointment, but when considering where Holmes' story was left off in A Game of Shadows, it actually works out.

The ending of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows saw Downey Jr's Sherlock Holmes jump off the Reichenbach Falls with arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty. Both were presumed dead, leaving Jude Law's Dr. Watson to mourn his complicated friend. However, in the movie's final moments, Watson receives a package containing an underwater breathing device. When he...

With so many Sherlock Holmes adaptations out there, it's understandable why Netflix's Enola Holmes has achieved accomplishments that others (like Robert Downey Jr.'s 2009 film) haven't, as it stands out from the rest. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Enola Holmes has an all-star cast, including Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Helena Bonham Carter, and more. Still, the 2009 adaptation of Sherlock Holmes starring Downey Jr. was a success and quite entertaining. Unfortunately, Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes hasn't reached the heights of Enola Holmes, and perhaps it never will.

Brown stars as the eponymous character in Enola Holmes, which is based on Nancy Springer's book series The Enola Holmes Mysteries. Meanwhile, Henry Cavill plays Sherlock Holmes, who is regulated to being a side character because the Netflix film series is all about the famous detective's sister. As mentioned above, both Enola Holmes movies have been a triumph for the streaming service,...

As Sherlock Holmes 3 continues to be a possibility, if it finally happens, it will definitely avoid the fatal Moriarty mistake that ruined the BBCs Sherlock. Arthur Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes is one of the most popular literary characters, and as such, he has been adapted to all types of media for decades. The state of the rights to Sherlock Holmes has allowed many artists to make significant changes to the detective, his cases, and the rest of the characters, such as adapting them to the modern day.

Of course, others have been loyal to the time setting of Conan Doyles stories, among them Guy Ritchies Sherlock Holmes movies. Starring Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson, Ritchies Sherlock Holmes movies were box office hits, with the first one getting positive reviews from critics and the second one getting a mixed reception. Still, talks about a...

Sherlock Holmes 3 is the follow up to 2011's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and the continuation of the journey of Robert Downey Jr.'s version of the titular character alongside Jude Law's Dr. John Watson. The first two films in the period mystery thriller saga, which were both directed by Guy Ritchie, have a combined $1 billion haul at the global box office against a total production budget of just $215 million, proving that the Sherlock Holmes franchise is a profitable one for Warner Bros.

Its been over a decade since the second movie in the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes series, and despite Guy Ritchies Sherlock Holmes 3 being confirmed shortly after A Game of Shadows arrived, the release date for the next Rdj and Jude Law adventure remains elusive. The third film has been stuck in development hell for a few years now, with a slew of...

Well, that fame won’t matter to him if he bags the iconic role that Robert Downey Jr. lobbied hard for him to get. Not MCU, but if the reports are true, Johnny Depp could become a part of Sherlock Holmes 3!

Johnny Depp Should Be The Villain in Sherlock Holmes 3

Back in 2009, the world was introduced to Robert Downey Jr. as the iconic Sherlock Holmes in the film of the same name. Starring alongside Jude Law and Guy Ritchie being the director, the film was naturally well received by the audience.

Depending on your viewing preferences, the name Jared Harris might either be instantly recognizable or not as familiar. Harris has delivered standout performances in projects like Mad Men, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, The Terror, and Chernobyl, establishing himself as a well-known figure, even if his name doesn’t immediately come to mind.

Harris is primarily known for his serious roles in both film and theatre, and he has often been critical of commercial movies, including comic book adaptations—despite appearing in one himself.

In Morbius, Harris portrayed Dr. Emil Nicholas, a role that stands out as an unusual choice in his career, given his typical work. Since he rarely takes on such roles, he was asked in a recent interview with British magazine iNews to share the reasoning behind his decision to join the Morbius cast.

Dr. Emil Nicholas serves as a supporting character in the series, but...

Depending on what type of content you like, the name Jared Harris might be very familiar, but also not that familiar. Jared Harris played some memorable roles in his career – such as those in Mad Men, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, The Terror, and Chernobyl – and he is definitely a brand name, whether you recognize him immediately or not.

At the same time, Jared Harris is a very serious actor and his career is mostly restricted to serious roles on the screen and in the theatre. He is also quite critical of a lot of commercial movies, including comic book adaptations, despite the fact that he actually appeared in one comic book movie himself.

Harris appeared as Dr. Emil Nicholas in Jared Leto’s Morbius, a role that seemed a one-off for Harris and is definitely the odd one out when we observe his career as a whole. We...

Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movies excelled in innuendo and cheeky one-liners, setting them apart from other adaptations. Ritchie's portrayal of Holmes as multilingual, particularly in French, added an exciting dimension to the action-packed movies. The stunning cinematography and intricate set design in Ritchie's movies helped bring Victorian London to life in a unique and captivating way.

The Sherlock Holmes Guy Ritchie movies and the Sherlock BBC drama were both amazing, and while the show was more critically acclaimed than the movies, there are some things that the movies actually did better than the show. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary Sherlock Holmes is a character that is destined to be adapted forever, so it is no surprise that he has been blessed by recent adaptations from some of film and TV's biggest names. Ritchie made some of the best Sherlock Holmes movies available and, in hindsight, they remain the...

"The Terror" is a prestigious AMC horror anthology series with exceptional ensemble casts in varying historical settings. Season 1 follows the Arctic expedition of Hms Terror and Erebus, while Season 2 explores Japanese folklore during WWII. Lead actors like Jared Harris, Tobias Menzies, and Ciarn Hinds have made significant contributions to the series.

AMC's The Terror is a supernatural horror anthology series with outstanding ensemble casts in both of its current seasons. Like HBO and FX, AMC is known for its prestige quality television, bringing ultra-talented casts together for distinct, engaging stories. 2018's The Terror is an outstanding example that somehow managed to fly under the radar. Now that it's gaining traction on Netflix, there's hope that The Terror season 3 will be a hit, particularly after star Dan Stevens signed on to be the new season's lead.

As mentioned, The Terror is an anthology series, meaning each season has a different cast of characters.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) has become a hit on Netflix in the United States, It landed at No. 8 on the Netflix U.S. chart in the first week of August 2024. This still doesn't mean a sequel is any closer to being made.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. has become a hit on Netflix in the United States. The 2015 Guy Ritchie movie is an adaptation of the 1960s TV show of the same name and follows a CIA agent and a Kgb agent who work together on an important mission during the Cold War. The star-studded Man from U.N.C.L.E. cast featured Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, Jared Harris, and Hugh Grant. The movie had a lukewarm critical reception and flopped at the box office, earning $110 million against a $75 million budget.

Young Sherlock TV series can explore Holmes & Moriarty's rivalry origin story. Professor Moriarty wasn't expected to appear, but Young Sherlock offers a chance to explore their backstory. Recent adaptations failed to show how Holmes and Moriarty met, but Young Sherlock has the opportunity to fill that gap.

Sherlock Holmes is returning to TV with the series Young Sherlock, directed by Guy Ritchie, and thanks to one character, it can finally answer a big question about the famous detective and his equally famous archenemy, Moriarty. Guy Ritchie is no stranger to the world of Sherlock Holmes after directing Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows in 2009 and 2011, with Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson. Ritchie is now returning to the world of the Great Detective, though not as expected.

The 1800s continue to be a fascinating era for movies, with Little Women being a highly regarded period drama that captured viewers' hearts. Films set in the 1800s can transport audiences back in time, allowing them to explore the technology, beliefs, and society of that era. There are numerous movies set in the 1800s across different genres, such as Sherlock Holmes, The Great Train Robbery, Amistad, Cold Mountain, The Lighthouse, The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, The Elephant Man, Pride & Prejudice, The Man Who Would Be King, Les Misrables, and Nosferatu.

Before her success with Barbie, Greta Gerig delivered one of the best movies set in the 1800s with Little Women. Her adaptation of the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott captured viewers' hearts with its rich storytelling and beautiful recreation of the 1800s setting. Though it's one of the most highly regarded period dramas of recent years,...

Guy Ritchie is assembling quite the cast for his upcoming Young Sherlock series, with Colin Firth announced today as the latest addition.

Inspired by Andy Lane’s Young Sherlock Holmes novels, the Prime Video series will be “an irreverent, action-packed origin story of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved detective in an explosive re-imagining of this iconic character. At age 19, Sherlock Holmes is disgraced, raw, unfiltered, and unformed, when he finds himself caught up in a murder mystery at Oxford University which threatens his freedom. Diving into his first-ever case with a wild lack of discipline, Sherlock manages to unravel a globe-trotting conspiracy that will change his life forever.“

Hero Fiennes Tiffin will star as the young detective, alongside Joseph Fiennes and Natasha McElhone as Sherlock’s parents and Zine Tseng as Princess Gulun Shou’an. Colin Firth will play Sir Bucephalus Hodge in Young Sherlock.

Oscar winning actor Robert Downey Jr. has been a part of several fascinating movies. In this list of successful movies, however, his portrayal of Tony Stark in the Iron Man franchise stands out the tallest. But the actor refuses to conform to stereotypes by taking on fresh parts such as the 2009 smash hit Sherlock Holmes. The movie was a huge success.

The massive appreciation of the first installment was rewarded when the makers brought in the sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, with the Iron Man actor reprising his role.

Guy Ritchie will be returning to the Sherlock Holmes IP with a new Young Sherlock show on Prime Video. Due to similar plots and characters, it seems like Young Sherlock could have to compete with CBS' Einstein. However, despite their similarities, Young Sherlock may not face much competition if Einstein's production doesn't happen.

The upcoming Prime Video show Young Sherlock will have an upcoming network rival. Young Sherlock will mark director Guy Ritchies return to the popular detective IP. Ritchie originally directed the 2009 Robert Downey Jr.-led version of Sherlock Holmes, which was then followed up by Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows in 2011. A Sherlock Holmes 3 movie has been in development for years, but the official production of the TV series Young Sherlock has been announced, marking the next entry into Ritchies Holmesian oeuvre.

Starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin as the titular detective, Young Sherlock takes audiences back to...

Edgar Allan Poe's C. Auguste Dupin in 1841's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is the first fictional detective to appear in literature, but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is hands down the most well-known detective in all of pop culture. 

Identifying himself as a "consulting" detective, Sherlock Holmes is intelligent beyond all reason, analytical to a fault, and emotionally distant due to his obsessions with logic. But when he's hot on the case in an investigation, his flair for the dramatics kicks in and he lives to show off his findings. Not because he wants to be the center of attention, but because he must let everyone know just how brilliant he is for cracking the case. He's also a morally questionable individual, who has no problems lying to law enforcement or committing petty crimes of his own if it means getting one step closer to solving the mystery.

Guy Ritchie's Young Sherlock series has a John Watson challenge. Sherlock Holmes was 27 when he met Dr. Watson in A Study in Scarlet. Whether Young Sherlock will include Watson remains to be seen.

Young Sherlock, an upcoming TV show by Guy Ritchie, has a tricky Watson challenge to overcome. Amazon recently revealed that Guy Ritchie, who directed Sherlock Holmes (2009) and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, will return to the world created by Arthur Conan Doyle in a Young Sherlock series. Despite Ritchies previous Sherlock experience, the upcoming series is not tied to the Robert Downey Jr.-led movies. Young Sherlock stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin, who worked with Ritchie on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Sherlock Holmes 3s status remains uncertain, but there are several Sherlock projects currently in active development for television. In addition to Amazons Young Sherlock, a modern-day Watson series is in the works at CBS.

Sherlock Holmes 3 has more potential regarding unexplored stories compared to a potential Sherlock Season 5. The decline of Sherlock after season 4 makes a return less exciting than another Rdj Sherlock film. A TV film or special for Cumberbatch's Sherlock would be more interesting than another season.

Sherlock Holmes 3 and BBCs Sherlock season 5 have both been in limbo for quite a while, yet the former sounds much more exciting than the latter for several reasons. The early 2010s were massive for Sherlock Holmes in terms of screen adaptations. Guy Ritchies Sherlock Holmes premiered in 2009 starring Robert Downey Jr. as the titular character and Jude Law as John Watson. A few months later, Sherlock season 1 premiered on BBC starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as modern-day versions of Sherlock and Watson. Both adaptations are among the most popular Sherlock Holmes projects ever put to screen.

Four upcoming Sherlock Holmes projects for film and television have one curious thing in common regarding the iconic detectives role in their stories. Between the unlikeliness of Sherlock season 5 and the uncertainty of Sherlock Holmes 3, it seemed like Holmes would stay away from the screens for a few years. However, the Sherlock Holmes books continue to inspire creators, with several other projects based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyles character set to be released in the near future.

Sherlock Holmes 3 can fix the BBC series' mistake in handling Holmes' return by providing a better post-Reichenbach story. Ritchie's movies gave clear direction, unlike BBC's Sherlock, making the setup for Holmes' return easier in the third film. Despite delays, Sherlock Holmes 3 can still thrive without unresolved plot points, ensuring a successful return for Holmes.

Guy Ritchies Sherlock Holmes 3, starring Robert Downey Jr., has been in development hell for years, but if it finally happens, it can fix the biggest mistake of the BBCs Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Sherlock Holmes and his many cases have been adapted to all types of media for many decades, and many have taken creative liberties to give the Great Detective a modern twist. Among the most popular adaptations in recent years are Guy Ritchies Sherlock Holmes movies and the BBCs TV series Sherlock, both with very different styles.

Robert Downey Jr.'s involvement in Young Sherlock remains uncertain, but Guy Ritchie's return to the franchise is exciting news. Young Sherlock has the potential for success if it is connected with Ritchie's previous Sherlock Holmes movies and unique storytelling. Incorporating elements from Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes movies, like slow-motion voiceovers, could enhance Young Sherlock's appeal and cohesiveness.

Guy Ritchie is at it again with a new Sherlock Holmes adaptation, a TV show called Young Sherlock, but will Robert Downey Jr. be involved? The director was responsible for the Sherlock Holmes movies starring Downey Jr., so the news that he is returning to this franchise is undoubtedly exciting. Ritchie's involvement seems to imply that Young Sherlock will be connected to the popular movies, opening several doors for a more expansive franchise. However, it's still unclear precisely how Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes movies will come into play.

Get ready to return to the world of Sherlock Holmes. Prime Video has ordered Young Sherlock from Guy Ritchie, the director of the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie and its 2011 sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

British actor Hero Fiennes Tiffin will star as the young Holmes, and the series will follow the origin story of the legendary detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Matthew Parkhill is set to serve as the showrunner and writer for the series.

Sherlock Holmes 3 has been in development limbo for 12 years, and Guy Ritchie's new project makes its future even less likely. Guy Ritchie is directing a Young Sherlock show for Amazon, based on Andy Lane's novels, with a fresh take on the detective. Although Ritchie hasn't been officially attached to Sherlock Holmes 3 as the director since 2019, his involvement in a completely different Sherlock project suggests the third film might not happen after all.

Sherlock Holmes 3 has been in development hell for 12 years, and following the announcement of Guy Ritchies newest project, I have no hopes for it ever happening. On January 8, 2009, Guy Ritchie brought Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson back to the big screen, with Sherlock Holmes grossing $524 million at the box office. The film, which starred Robert Downey Jr. in the titular role and Jude Law as the famous sidekick, received a sequel three years later,...

While Robert Downey Jr. is known for his portrayal of Iron Man in the MCU, he also portrayed Sherlock Holmes in Guy Ritchie’s adaptation of the popular novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The actor reprised his role in the 2011 sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and was also set to appear in a threequel.

Amazon Prime Video announced recently that a series based on Andy Lane’s Young Sherlock Holmes novels would be in development with Guy Ritchie directing. This follows a trend of prequels and spinoffs of popular characters where the story follows a younger version such as Dexter, Young Sheldon, Ted, and more.

While Benedict Cumberbatch put a new spin on the popular detective novels in the BBC series Sherlock,...

Deadline reports that Hero Fiennes Tiffin of the After film series has signed on to star in the Young Sherlock series that has been ordered by Prime Video – and to clear up any possible confusion before it can arise: no, this is not a series reboot or continuation of the 1985 film Young Sherlock Holmes, which came to us from director Barry Levinson, screenwriter Chris Columbus, and producer Steven Spielberg. Rather, this is an adaptation of the Young Sherlock series of novels that author Andrew Lane started writing in 2010. That series was a response to the success Charlie Higson was having with his series of Young James Bond novels. Guy Ritchie is on board to direct and executive produce all eight episodes of Young Sherlock‘s first season. Ritchie, of course, has prior Sherlock Holmes experience, having directed Robert Downey Jr. as the iconic character in the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes and...

Guy Ritchie is on a roll with a third movie in development, returning to the world of British aristocracy. His recent success with The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare sets the stage for another intriguing project. Alongside Wife and Dog, Ritchie has a packed slate of projects to keep an eye on in the coming years.

Guy Ritchie now has a third movie, titled Wife and Dog, in development. Ritchie has just come off of directing The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which released in theaters last month. Embedded in the world of the British aristocracy, the WW2 action film told a based-on-a-true-story narrative of a group of soldiers hired by the British military to strike down Nazi forces. It features a leading cast including Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, and Eiza Gonzlez.

Now, Variety announces another project from Ritchie titled Wife and Dog. This film will return Ritchie to the...

It has been more than 15 years since Guy Ritchie released his Sherlock Holmes offering with Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role. A lot has changed in the film industry since then, with the 59-year-old becoming a mega star thanks to his pivotal involvement in the MCU.

Now that Downey Jr. has hung up his Iron Man suit, he is interested in making a third offering in the Sherlock Holmes film series. This is reportedly in the pipeline, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet. It has been announced that there will be at least one spinoff series, though, which could be set to reinvigorate the franchise.

Detective Remains at Forefront of Popular Culture

There are rumours that there will be two spinoff series, which are due to be released on HBO Max. This could be a clever move from the streaming service, as the Sherlock Holmes brand is massive in popular culture.

Guy Ritchie is one of the busiest filmmakers, with a string of movies since 2015 including blockbusters and critical bombs. His upcoming film "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" featuring Henry Cavill is generating buzz for its unique take on World War II. Ritchie's work ethic outpaces many top directors, with a prolific output and consistent collaborations with star-studded ensembles.

A close look at The Ministery of Ungentlemanly Warfare director Guy Ritchie's recent filmography reveals he could be the hardest-working filmmaker in the business. Ritchie made his breakthrough with 1998's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, a British gangster comedy that also marked Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones' screen debuts. In addition to the fame his relationship (and eventual marriage) to Madonna brought him, Guy Ritchie's movies ran the gamut from gangster flicks (Snatch) to blockbusters like the Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes duology.

Like any filmmaker who has managed to maintain...

Lobo is an iconic DC character fans have been waiting eagerly for to make the jump into the live-action world. However, for years, the character has been waiting for his big break. Although Jason Momoa is now generating all the hype he can and advocating for a Lobo movie, Guy Ritchie was set to helm one back in 2010 but ultimately shelved the project in favor of directing Robert Downey Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

Why Guy Ritchie Never Made the Lobo Movie He Was Supposed To

A Lobo live-action movie has been sitting on the shelves for ages now, and it’s wild to think how the film has jumped from one director to another over the years. Yet still, nothing has come to fruition.

While forgettable to anyone not tasked with remembering it, Guy Ritchie’s 2019 feature film “The Gentlemen” does embody the two distinct halves shaping the writer-director’s career to date. At the height of its binary world are the aristocrats: affluent Englishmen whose titles and estates grant them access to a refined class of lords and ladies. On the other end are the criminals: conniving Brits who do the dirty work necessary just to get by. What brings them together is Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey), an American living in London who builds a massive marijuana business by hiding his farms under the sweeping landscapes of the rich and fortified. The aristocrats get a hefty kickback to support their lavish lifestyle, and the criminals get the relative safety only wealth can offer. Two classes colliding — which happens once someone inevitably screws up — is what gives “The Gentlemen” its juice. Or it’s supposed to,...

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo star on playing an astronaut, the significance of her surname and the time Orlando Bloom broke her nose

Born Noomi Norén, the 44-year-old Swedish actor Noomi Rapace left home aged 15 to study acting in Stockholm. She broke through globally in 2009 when she starred in the film adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s bestselling novel The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. She has since appeared in films including Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Ridley Scott’s 2012 Alien prequel Prometheus and the Icelandic folk horror Lamb. Rapace can currently be seen in Constellation, an eight-part Apple TV+ thriller in which she plays an astronaut, Jo Ericsson, who returns to Earth after a disaster in space to find parts of her life and her family subtly upturned. Rapace lives between London and Lisbon and has a 21-year-old son.

In Constellation, you’re often not sure,...

Stephen King praises the Apple TV+ show Constellation for being nail-biting and believable in the first two episodes. The show stars Noomi Rapace as Jo, an astronaut with memory gaps, promising a dark exploration of human psychology. Constellation takes unexpected turns, with a finale airing on March 27.

Stephen King shares his glowing praise for Constellation, highlighting the strengths of the new psychological thriller show from Apple TV+. Although it has earned the reputation of being a hub for sci-fi aficionados, it's less appreciated that the streaming service is varied within that category. The dystopian mystery Silo became one of 2023's breakout hits, and while there are high-concept offerings, such as Invasion and Foundation, there's also The Big Door Prize, a dramedy that showcases the genre's strengths on a smaller and more personal scale. Severance, meanwhile, combines the personal and the fantastical.

Legendary author King has now offered his endorsement of Constellation,...

Talented actors bring depth to Apple TV+'s Constellation, blending sci-fi drama with captivating visuals and character beats. Noomi Rapace shines as Jo, navigating a skewed reality after a mysterious space mission in this sci-fi psychological thriller. Jonathan Banks and James D'Arcy add intrigue to the storyline, creating a compelling dynamic with Jo's character development.

Apple TV+'s Constellation is led by a talented roster of actors who make its sci-fi drama all the more compelling and convincing. Created by Peter Harness, Constellation follows an astronaut named Jo, who works on the International Space Station with a group of other astronautical experts. Following a mysterious accident, Jo makes a heroic return to Earth. To her surprise, however, everything on Earth seems changed.

While Constellation's primary appeal comes from its exploration of complex sci-fi concepts and mysteries, it also captivates audiences with scintillating visuals of space and the inner workings of a space station.

Noomi Rapace returns to the sci-fi genre with Apple TV+ series Constellation, marking her first move back to space since 2012's Prometheus. Constellation's storyline blurs reality and fantasy as astronaut Jo tries to adjust to the real world after an accident during a space mission. Rapace's performance in Constellation has garnered praise, drawing comparisons to her role in divisive Alien prequel Prometheus.

Now Noomi Rapace is returning to the sci-fi genre with Apple TV+ series Constellation, it's a good time to recall her last trip to space with a certain 2012 blockbuster. After her breakout turn as Lisbeth Salander in 2009's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Rapace was soon being offered major roles in Hollywood movies. Some of Noomi Rapace's most notable movies of this period include Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, The Drop and Netflix's first blockbuster, Bright. In recent years, the star has jumped back...
