The great detective of the fictional world, Sherlock Holmes has caught the fancy of people across the globe. One of the most efficient sleuths who could solve the most difficult mysteries in the world, Holmes is a celebrated hero.
Over the years, many actors have portrayed Holmes in series, TV shows and films but for most of us fans it has been Benedict Cumberbatch who has been the one we envision every time someone takes Sherlock¡¯s name!
In a new spin-off series called Enola Holmes, this time around Henry Cavill AKA Superman is all set to trade his cape for a thinking hat as he will be seen playing the role of Sherlock Holmes. Sam Claflin will be playing his brother Mycroft. Helena Bohnam Carter aka Bellatrix Lestrange will be seen playing the Holmes' mother hen. However, this time the spotlight will only be on their sister Enola played by none other than Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things fame.?
According to the makers, the plotline of the much-awaited series is as follows:
¡°Set in England in 1884, the crime-comedy film based on the books by Nancy Springer sees Holmes wake to find that her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) has disappeared, leaving behind an odd assortment of gifts but no apparent clue as to where she¡¯s gone or why. After a free-spirited childhood, Enola suddenly finds herself under the care of her brothers Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft (Sam Claflin), both set on sending her away to a finishing school for ¡°proper¡± young ladies. Refusing to follow their wishes, Enola escapes to search for her mother in London, thus becoming a super-sleuth in her own right.
But when her journey finds her entangled in a mystery surrounding a young runaway Lord (Louis Partridge), Enola becomes a super-sleuth in her own right, outwitting her famous brother as she unravels a conspiracy that threatens to set back the course of history. Based on the beloved book series by Nancy Springer, ¡®Enola Holmes¡¯ is a dynamic new mystery-adventure that introduces the world¡¯s greatest detective to his fiercest competition yet: his teenage sister. The game is afoot.¡°
