Considering Sherlock Holmes took in nearly $210 million last year at the box office, it was pretty much a given that a sequel would be in the works.

Jude Law, aka Mr. Watson, recently told Empire Online that he, Robert Downey Jr. and director Guy Ritchie are set to get the second installment started. "It looks likely that we're going to shoot the second Sherlock Holmes in October," he said, though he kept mum on what villainy he and Sherlock will be battling. "I don't know yet where the story will go," Law says, "but there are a lot of Sherlock Holmes novels to choose from."
