Fresh off the triumph of solving her first case, Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) follows in the footsteps of her famous brother, Sherlock (Henry Cavill), and opens her own agency — only to find that life as a female detective-for-hire isn’t as easy as it seems. Resigned to accepting the cold realities of adulthood, she is about to close shop when a penniless matchstick girl offers Enola her first official job: to find her missing sister. But this case proves to be far more puzzling than expected, as Enola is thrown into a dangerous new world — from London’s sinister factories and colorful music halls, to the highest echelons of society and 221B Baker Street itself. As the sparks of a deadly conspiracy ignite, Enola must call upon the help of friends — and Sherlock himself — to unravel her mystery. The game, it seems, has found its feet again!

Returning to reprise their roles are Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes, Louis Partridge as Tewkesbury, Susan Wokoma as Edith, Adeel Akhtar as Lestrade, and Helena Bonham-Carter as Enola’s mother Eudoria. Sharon Duncan-Brewster and David Thewlis will be joining the cast of the new film. Enola Holmes is based on the “Enola Holmes Mysteries’ Book Series” by Nancy Springer. The film is directed by Harry Bradbeer and screenplay by Jack Thorne, and story by Harry Bradbeer and Jack Thorne.

There is no clue on the “rumored” cameo of the other Spider-man; Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, but even without the 2 Spider-man, the trailer gave us peek on the scale of film, which Director Watts is comparing it to Avengers: Endgame.

Spider-man: No Way Home is Directed by Jon Watts, will star Tom Holland (Peter Parker/Spider-man), Zendaya (MJ), Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Stephen Strange), Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds), Jon Favreau (Harold “Happy” Hogan) and Marisa Tomei as Aunt May Parker. Also in the movies are Alfred Molina (Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus), Jamie Foxx (Max Dillon/Electro), Willem Dafoe (Norman Osborn/Green Goblin), Thomas Haden Church (Flint Marko/Sandman) and Rhys Ifans (Curt Connors/Lizard).

Spider-man: No Way Home will have an exclusive release in theaters December 17th.
