Netflix (Via EW and Total Film) has debuted the first official promo images for Enola Holmes, which will adapt Nancy Springer popular series of Enola Holmes Mysteries YA novels.

The stills provide a first look at Man of Steel star Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes, Hunger Games' Sam Clafin as his older brother Mycroft, and Stranger Things alum Millie Bobby Brown as his younger sister Enola.

This take on the story, which comes to us from Killing Eve director Harry Bradbeer and His Dark Materials writer Jack Thorne, begins with Enola "waking on her 16th birthday to find her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) has vanished. An assortment of gifts have been left behind, but there are no apparent clues to her whereabouts. Now in the care of her two older brothers, who want to ship her off to a finishing school, Enola escapes through London to find her mom."

Bradbeer explains why he feels Enola Homes will bring fans a "fresh approach" to the famous literary detective and his highly dysfunctional family.

“There was the fact that there was a sister that people probably hadn’t considered existed," the director tells Total Film. "That automatically brings the whole feminist stance and a feminist angle on the Holmes story, which was particularly interesting to me, as Holmes was thought of as being someone who was a little bit of a misogynist.”

Enola Holmes is set to premiere on Netflix this September.

Except it's not "real" Holmes and the real Holmes categorically WAS a misogynist. But let's pretend he isn't because it makes everyone feel better I guess

I was actually really excited for this because I love these actors and characters but now not as much. Hopefully it’s not just a bunch of virtue signaling and actually has interesting stories.

Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes is the most LEFT FIELD CASTING EVER

frankly, the idea of holmes being a misogynist is an invention of modern society.

anybody who has read the original stories knows that he was simply dismissive OF ALL PEOPLE. with some few minor exceptions (moriarty, adler, watson).

he considered them to be non-interesting, due to an evident lack of intelligence.

the stories were written in an age of misogynist attitudes, and the writing is fairly typical of it's milieu.

i truly hate when hollywood re-writes history or the original material to increase box office or to pander to society's fickle mores.

it's like casting will smith as a secret service agent in wild wild west.
the movie is set in 1869, and the first black secret service agent wasn't BORN until 1935.

@r1g0r - No it's made clear he's sexist. It's specifically mentioned that "he [Sherlock] used to make merry over the cleverness of women". Women are singled out here as part of the story. Literally the whole point of the Irene Adler story is that he learns not to underestimate women.

@Nightwing1015 -
and again as i pointed out, that is the morality/viewpoint of the time period.

besides, that quote is debatable as the definition is non-derogatory and doyle was NOT known for sarcastic writing.

@r1g0r - "that is the morality/viewpoint of the time period"

Yes, exactly. So if there's a Holmes adaptation set in that time period, I think it's pretty important to his character to include that. Not do what this movie is doing and starting to talk about the "feminist side" or Holmes which seems weird to me.

@Nightwing1015 -
well, in 1870's england, feminism was very much in it's infantile state.
so this will either SHOW that circumstance, or it's just another hack writing job trying to foist our current morality and viewpoints on an era that it doesn't apply to.
hence, my comparison to will smith playing jim west.

If anyone wondering why so many Sherlock Holmes films are being made lately....it is because the character has fallen into the public domain now. This trend will backfire am sure.

@JustALurker - Good point. I'm kind of Sherlocked out. I need a break from new spins on the character. Since Sherlock debuted about a decade ago, this is the 7th iteration I can think of off the top of my head including the two you have there.










I wouldn't mind another movie to complete RDJ's trilogy and perhaps the occasional special for the BBC series, but otherwise let's give it a rest.
