Hmmm…Sherlock Holmes' impeccable sleuthing skills might prove quite handy here.

Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch and The Incredible Hulk beauty Liv Tyler were spotted catching a movie together Tuesday night in Los Angeles. Which can only mean one thing: Time to crank up those romance rumors!

The two swung by ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood and discreetly kept some distance from each other as they exited the theater together.

Tyler, sipping a drink, looked relaxed in a striped tee, black jeans, sweater and sneakers, while the dashing Brit wore a black shirt, dark pants and gray jacket.

The two were also reportedly seen together at an Emmys afterparty on Sunday.

Consider this a dream pairing spawned from J.R.R. Tolkien's universe, Tyler, of course, famously played elf queen Arwen in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, while Cumberbatch is set to voice two characters in the upcoming The Hobbit trilogy: the dragon Smaug and dark sorcerer the Necromancer.

Even Gollum would have to admit: They certainly make for one precious couple.
