Robert Downey Jr. is trading in his Iron Man suit for a deerstalker cap and a pipe.
Variety confirms that Downey Jr. will star in Sherlock Holmes which director Guy Ritchie will begin shooting in October for Warner Bros.
Earlier this week, it was announced by Columbia Pictures that their Holmes comedy will feature Sacha Baron Cohen as Holmes and Will Ferrell as Watson.
Ritchie’s take is no laughing matter. It is based on the comic book and the stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
