Nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but EW.com reports that Robert Downey Jr. is in the running to play the famed sleuth Sherlock Holmes in Guy Ritchie's Warner Brothers' film.
The new Holmes movie will be based on Lionel Wigram's comic book, not the novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle—and will be more of an action hero than scholarly PI, reports Cinematical.
After Downey Jr.'s huge success in Iron Man, the actor is being courted by studios for a number of roles—according to Filmofilia.com, Brett Ratner wants him for Playboy, the Hugh Hefner biopic, and Gary Ross is eager for him to sign on for Dog Years.
