Chestnut will play John Watson, a doctor who resumes his medical career after the death of his sleuthing partner, Sherlock Holmes, at the hands of the criminal mastermind, Moriarty. Watson and Holmes remain popular characters more than 100 years after they were imagined by author Arthur Conan Doyle. Jude Law played Watson to Robert Downey Jr.'s Holmes in the 2009 movie, Sherlock Holmes, and its 2011 sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.
