This is a bit weird, Robert Downey Jr. already has one franchise with Iron Man and now he potentially has another. He is set to star in Sherlock Holmes, director Guy Ritchie's feature drama about the fictional detective. This latest incarnation of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle character is based on an upcoming comic book which portrays Holmes as less stuffy and more adventurous, using physical prowess along with intellect to solve mysteries.

This has no relation to the just announced comic Sherlock Holmes movie, which stars Sacha Baron Cohen as the sleuth and Will Ferrell as his assistant, Watson.
