The photo must be taken somewhere in Europe-London. The photo hints the commencement of the movie-making, although there is nothing official.

"We've had many, many meetings and we have a really good writer who is engaged," said Producer Lionel Wigram to The Mirror stressing that "Sherlock Holmes 3" is happening.

According to Cinema Blend, Jude Law promises that the upcoming instalment would be best of the series and the storyline would be 'time travel.' "I still think it's a good idea! I don't want to say, 'Yeah it's true,' and then it kind of blows the idea out of the water. But I guess, if I'm being honest, I think both Robert [Downey Jr.] and Guy [Ritchie] kind of went... what? But I kind of thought... I can't remember.

I thought that was in top secret. I'm amazed that someone has leaked that. Yeah, I thought [we could] sort of combine H.G. Wells and Sherlock Holmes. And then Downey topped it by going, 'Yeah, and the time travel machine is... it's something you eat.' I wonder what he's referring to there? I don't know. You eat it and you go, 'Oh my God, I'm in 2024!'"

As Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. are in-demand actors, the filming for the movie might be a bit tricky.

In interview with the Collider, the Guy Ritchie's said, "It looks like it could happen this fall. Downey said he wants to do it. He's gotta launch into another Avengers movie, right after the New Year, so we're trying to get it done."

However, with the hints available the filming may begin this year.
