Henry Cavill is currently one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood, which is partly due to his much-heralded Superman return in the DC universe. However, Cavill does not only return in well-known roles. He will say goodbye to one in the future: Geralt of Rivia. Season 3 of The Witcher will be his last.
The Witcher exit is happening whether we want it or not. Some fans have hoped that another Netflix role of Cavill will be expanded: Sherlock Holmes. In the two Enola Holmes films, the actor embodies the legendary private detective. The end of Enola Holmes 2 even hints at a spin-off.

Own Sherlock Holmes film with Henry Cavill unlikely on Netflix
In the post-credits scene of Enola Holmes 2, Cavill’s Sherlock finally meets his Watson, played by Himesh Patel. Embarrassed, he knocks on the door of 221B Baker Street and paves the way for an offshoot, which is all about Homes and Watson. According to Cavill, such a spin-off is out of the question.
As he reveals to The Wrap, Enola will remain the only main character:
This universe belongs to Enola and she will always be involved. I find it very important that there is always a connection between [Enola und Sherlock] exists.

Even if a Sherlock spin-off were offered, Cavill doesn’t seem to have any intentions of starring Millie Bobby Brown with a spin-off to overshadow. If the series is expanded on Netflix, the film adaptations of the other books by Nancy Springer are more suitable anyway.
All in all eight Enola Holmes novels has written Springer to date. There is enough material for Netflix to continue the series. Holmes and Watson could of course also appear as secondary characters in these sequels. However, no further project from the Enola Holmes universe has been officially announced so far.
