Robert Downey Jr. has teased that his next movie role will be 'Sherlock Holmes 3'.



The 53-year-old actor has hinted that he's about to reprise his role as the suave private detective in the third instalment of the adventure mystery film after he took to his social networking sites to "practice" his "Sherlock face" ahead of production.



Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures have confirmed that the mystery period action film will hit the big screen on December 25 two years from now - nine years after the first sequel 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' dropped worldwide.



Jude Law will reprise his role as Dr. Watson alongside Downey Jr's Sherlock, while the rest of the cast is yet to be announced.
