Yesterday's teaser trailer for Enola Holmes cryptically revealed the premiere date to be “alone loshme reeebtpms wnettyrhitd;" and that's now confirmed to be September 23 thanks to this first promo poster.

The poster also provides a new look at the main cast members led by Stranger Things alum Millie Bobby Brown as the heroine of the title, along with Man of Steel's Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes, The Hunger Games actor Sam Clafin as their older brother Mycroft, and Helena Bonham Carter as their mother.

Check it out below along with the brief teaser, and keep an eye out for a full trailer very soon.

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 recently explained 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. 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.”

What do you guys think? Will you be checking out Enola Holmes this September, or will you need to see a full trailer before making your mind up?

Id say that title still doesnt evoke victorian era detective story, but then idiots here will accuse me of misogyny.

"There was the fact that there was a sister that people probably hadn’t considered existed."

I knew the Holmes brothers had a sister. But the sister I know of is much more crazy than this one. lol !

Sherlock Holmes is my all-time favorite fictional character and I'm not so strick with the canon as not to be open to some more out there interpretations (Sherlock Holmes vs. Zombies comic was fun and Neil Gaiman's Study in Emerald really clever), but a story about his secret super smart little sister doesn't interest me at all. Also, Cavill feels like a major miscast.

Not mad or anything, there are plenty of Holmes content for me and I hope this finds its audience.

It really looks like for a young adult audience, like a teenage type audience.

Is this really Henry's fanbase? I think Henry's chief fanbase are young men and women.

Cavill has now had a major comic book role (but not marvel), a major fantasy role (but not LOTR or GOT), and has played Sherlock Holmes (though on streaming service).

The guy has done the “sorta” version of every blockbuster megastar move for the past 10-20 years. Next I think he should start his own brand of second shelf alcohol or non-alcoholic mixer. (I think he’s a great actor btw, and Geralt is the role he was born to play).

@Rosraf - I think one major strike against him is that he should work more. I think he should do some small indie stuff. That can help polish some acting skill and don't take long to shoot. Like 3 weeks or something. These projects are not done for money but just for the craft. I think he could do some of those in his down time. Will definitely help him.

@KingLeonidas - I think Cavill's more in the "movie star" business than in the "serious actor" business. Makes sense he has the same agent as The Rock, he only ever seems to do big projects like Mission, The Witcher, Superman & now Holmes. Can't see him signing onto an A24 film anytime soon, lol

@tmp3 - Ha. I didn’t know that. Henry Cavill = The Rock U.K.?

Last time I was exposed to Sherlock's sister was in BBC Sherlock and at the moment I can't recall if she was also called there Enola.

I like the cast though and looking forward to the dynamics of the Holmes siblings.
