Robert Downey Jr., awaiting his wife's approval, is considering moving forward with potential 'Sherlock Holmes' film sequels.

Robert Downey Jr., who recently wrapped up filming for the upcoming "Avengers: Endgame," is currently waiting on his wife's final decision before deciding whether to proceed with any future 'Sherlock Holmes' films. The actor made this revelation during a high-profile industry event, where he discussed various aspects of his career and personal life. Speaking at the gathering, Downey Jr. expressed that while he has enjoyed playing Sherlock Holmes in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" and Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes," he is now focused on other projects and opportunities. His wife, Susan Downey, has been closely involved with his film choices over the years, and she will ultimately have the final say on whether to move forward with any new Sherlock Holmes stories. Downey Jr.'s come as fans eagerly await news about potential sequels in the 'Sherlock Holmes' franchise, which began with Guy Ritchie's 2009 adaptation. While no official announcements have been made yet, industry insiders speculate that Downey Jr. may be considering his wife's input before making a decision on whether to return to the role of Sherlock Holmes. The actor has not ruled out the possibility of reprising the iconic character in future films, but he emphasized that any decisions will ultimately depend on Susan's wishes and their family's needs. As he continues to navigate his career and personal life, Downey Jr.'s focus remains on balancing both aspects while considering the potential impact on his wife and children. With "Avengers: Endgame" set for release in April 2019, fans will have to wait until Downey Jr. has had time to discuss his future plans with Susan before learning whether they will see him return as Sherlock Holmes or if he will explore other roles in the 'Sherlock Holmes' universe.
