If we find an actor that Cavill is interacting with more or that he starts following now we know we have our Watson
If I were in charge of casting...
My dream cast would still be Riz Ahmed
But damn your are brilliant! Pegg and Cavill have an amazing chemistry. I only say: Hard cheese
Imagine Henry Cavill as Holmes from Enola Holmes with Joey Batey as Watson!!
I did…and I LOVED it.
This could be a really weird geraskier AU…or..just..well…a ratther perculiar johnlock
all the fan casts you have for Enola-Verse Watson
especially the race bent and gender bent ones
that I may luxiariate in thinking about Enola and J
teaming up together to save Sherlock’s ass
or even merely the foursome (including Tewks) having dinner at the Savoy together
and Watson sparing no detail about the bits of the cases that he leaves out of the published versions
when Sherlock doesn’t always get it right 😸
Okay, so here are my top three:
Gugu Mbatha-Raw, whom I have loved since not only Doctor Who, but Undercovers. I think she’d make a very Elementary-esque Watson, funny and snarky, with a very warm and friendly contrast to Cavill’s Sherlock. Would Mom the heck out of Enola and has thrown things at Mycroft’s head.
Michael B. Jordan. He would be a very Freeman-esque Watson, in the sense of playing up his military background and doctor’s skills. He absolutely helps Edith train her ladies in hand-to-hand, and would happily let Enola try to kick his ass. Also, he tries his best to take Tewkesbury seriously, but they yell about politics a lot.
Asia Kate Dillon. NON BINARY WATSON YO. Their dynamic on Billions with Bobby comes off as very Holmes/Watson, so I’d like to see them tackle the character. Plus, with what the movie does with gender and femininity, it would be amazing to see Asia’s Watson giving Enola more of an education in breaking Victorian norms.
I like it here! Give me more!
