Enola Holmes 3 leaves fans buzzing with a tense showdown between Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty. Henry Cavill returns as Sherlock, while Sharon Duncan-Brewster reprises her role as the elusive villain. Moriarty kidnaps the detective and the Lady Tewkesbury, but Enola (Millie Bobby Brown) rescues her brother just as he nearly pulls the trigger. Enola convinces him to stop, revealing a rare moment of vulnerability in the usually composed Sherlock.
Director Philip Barantini admitted he wanted audiences to wonder if Sherlock would actually take the shot. He explained that holding the gun longer allowed viewers to see Sherlock lose his temper and show a darker side. Himesh Patel, who plays Dr. Watson, argued that sparing Moriarty was the right choice, while Brewster herself confessed she would have loved to see Sherlock fire, pushing the story into even darker territory.
The ending leaves Moriarty unconscious after Tewkesbury intervenes, but her fate remains unclear. Brewster expressed hope that Moriarty survived, teasing the possibility of returning for a fourth film. She noted that the rivalry between Sherlock and Moriarty is still in its early stages compared to other adaptations, leaving plenty of room for future exploration.
Although Netflix has not confirmed Enola Holmes 4, the third film debuted at number one globally on the platform, topping charts in 69 countries. Despite mixed reviews, the franchise continues to spark debate. Barantini, Patel, and Brewster’s comments suggest there is still more story to tell, especially in the evolving battle between Sherlock and Moriarty.
