Enola Holmes 3 villain and Henry Cavill’s Sherlock plot revealed by new rumor
A new rumor from X (formerly Twitter) user MyTimeToShineHello claims to reveal major plot details for Enola Holmes 3. The scoop identifies Sharon Duncan-Brewster’s character Mira Troy as the film’s villain, operating under the alias “Moriarty.” The leaker also alleges that Moriarty kidnaps Sherlock Holmes and traps him in a prison in Malta.
According to the rumor, Enola confronts Moriarty in a “canyon-like area.” The two characters engage in a physical fight. Moriarty then fakes her death after Enola kicks her in the head.
Netflix’s official logline describes the film as taking Enola to Malta. “Adventure chases detective Enola Holmes to Malta,” the logline states. Personal and professional dreams reportedly collide on her most dangerous case yet.
Meanwhile, Millie Bobby Brown returns as the titular detective alongside Louis Partridge as Tewkesbury. Henry Cavill reprises his role as Sherlock Holmes. Helena Bonham Carter and Himesh Patel also return as Eudoria and Dr. Watson.
Behind the camera, Philip Barantini directs the third installment, replacing Harry Bradbeer from the first two films. Jack Thorne wrote the screenplay, adapting Nancy Springer’s book series. Notably, Barantini and Thorne previously collaborated on the Netflix series Adolescence.
As for the film’s themes, Brown described her character as entering a “more defined but still evolving” phase. She told Netflix Tudum that Enola questions what she wants next after building something for herself. Additionally, the actress noted that exploring Enola’s mature relationship with Tewkesbury added real weight.
In terms of production, principal photography began in April 2025 in England. Filming also took place in Malta. Brown confirmed that production wrapped in June 2025.
Ultimately, Enola Holmes 3 arrives on Netflix in July 2026.
