Netflix has a sequel to its “Enola Holmes” film on the way this Fall, but one of the less talked about aspects regarding the project has been a certain absentee from the cast list.
Sam Claflin, who played Enola’s brother Mycroft Holmes, hasn’t appeared on any official cast listings for the sequel – even as the rest of the main cast from the first film, including Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Helena Bonham Carter, and Louis Partridge are all returning.
So what happens to his character? An answer may be coming next week with the announcement of “Enola Holmes: Mycroft’s Dangerous Game,” a new graphic novel releasing next week that serves as a bridging story between the first and second films.
In the story, a mysterious group of anarchists abducts Enola’s brother Mycroft and she investigates his disappearance in hopes of rescuing him and recovering something precious he took from her.
With the help of Lord Tewkesbury and a young boy on the streets named Shag, she uncovers the truth behind her brother’s abduction and unravels a web of mystery that takes her deep into the London underground as she tries to foil the anarchist’s nefarious plot.
A trailer for the comic has now gone online and can be seen below. The comic arrives in stores on October 11th, several weeks before the film sequel hits the streamer on November 4th.
