The news of the release of part three in the series was announced just a month after the second part came out. The initial release date was set to be 25th December 2020 by Warner Bros. However, we will be facing a delay, the reason for which is still unknown. For the moment, the new data revealed by the makers is 22nd December 2021, which makes it a delay of one year.
One major change that will be seen in the third part is the change of director. Instead of Guy Ritchie, Dexter Fletcher will take his seat as the director. Moreover, Downey and Law are coming back without a doubt, keeping alive their bromance. We still don’t have any news about the return of Kelly Reilly, Eddie Marsan, and Stephen Fry.
