The Making of 'Sherlock Holmes 2'

Sherlock Holmes makes his highly anticipated return on December 16, and we have a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the new sequel.

"I've noticed that audiences like seeing me get beat up and roughed up," said Robert Downey Jr., noting the extensive amount of fight scenes in the film. "And I love action movies. I've grown up on them and they mean kind of a lot to me, so it's thrilling that I actually get to play this guy."

In Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and Watson (Jude Law) reunite to solve a murder and battle Holmes' greatest adversary, Professor Moriarty (Mad Men star Jared Harris), with the help of a wily gypsy fortune teller (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy star Noomi Rapace).
