Can You Deduce Who Plays John Watson Opposite Robert Downey Jr. in Guy Ritchie’s SHERLOCK HOLMES??

I am – Hercules!!


Jude Law ("The Holiday," "Sleuth") will play Dr. John Watson to Robert Downey’s titular sleuth in Warner Bros.' “Sherlock Holmes."

The Warner project, directed by Guy Ritchie ("Snatch," "RockNRolla"), is not to be confused with Judd Apatow's untitled project at Sony, which stars Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell as Holmes and Watson.
