In the most recent issue of Total Film, the British actor revealed it was important for the movie to get things right.

"It's important to make sure the tone of things is not lost in the potential excitement of franchises and universes,” he continued. "Sherlock enjoys it enormously, much as it frustrates him and he's scuppered by trying to work out who on Earth it is.”

Cavill also talked about his role in helping to solve the movies’ mysteries.

Enola Holmes 2 Official Synopsis, Release Date

After two years, fans are about to see the continuation of the Holmes family’s adventure in Enola Holmes 2.

The official synopsis reads,

"Fresh off the triumph of solving her first case, Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) follows in the footsteps of her famous brother, Sherlock, and opens her own agency – only to find that life as a female detective-for-hire isn't as easy as it seems. Resigned to accepting the cold realities of adulthood, she is about to close shop when a penniless matchstick girl offers Enola her first official job: to find her missing sister. But this case proves to be far more puzzling than expected, as Enola is thrown into a dangerous new world – from London's sinister factories and colorful music halls to the highest echelons of society and 221B Baker Street itself. As the sparks of a deadly conspiracy ignite, Enola must call upon the help of friends – and Sherlock himself – to unravel her mystery. The game, it seems, has found its feet again!"
