The big budget “Sherlock Holmes” remake starring Robert Downey Jr. doesn’t even come out until Christmas Day, but a sequel is already in the works, according to The Hollywood Reporter. What’s more, Brad Pitt is being considered for the role of Holmes’ nemesis, Moriarty.
Whoa and whoa. Throwing Pitt into the sequel with Downey and Jude Law (who plays Watson) would result in some kind of triumvirate of hot Hollywood hunks. RedEye has a few suggestions of other A-listers who must be a part of this sequel. Gentlemen, call your agents!
Colin Farrell
Nothing against Pitt, but the perfect enemy to face off with Downey’s detective is this Irish bad boy.
Colin Firth
This distinguished Englishman is no stranger to period pieces and, let’s face it, the man can rock tweed.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leo’s handsome looks aside, we need him involved to bait the Academy.
Idris Elba
We’re obsessed with him after he defended his marriage to Beyonce in “Obsessed.”
Kanye West
Speaking of Beyonce, we better include Kanye or no doubt he’ll let us hear about it.
Robert Pattinson
We can totally imagine vampires lurking the dark alleys of Holmes’ London. Though we’d run toward him, not away from him.
Johnny Depp
Vampires don’t do it for you? OK, a pirate then.
Andy Samberg
