Just putting down some facts

- Robert Downey Jr portrais Tony Stark aka IronMan since 2008. He is also Sherlock Holmes in the 2009 and 2011 movies of the same name
- Rachel McAdams portrais Irene Adler in the 2009 and 2011 Sherlock Holmes movies. She will also appear as Christine Palmer in the 2016 movie Dr Strange
- Benedict Cumberbatch plays Sherlock Holmes in the BBC show Sherlock since 2010. He will be Dr Stephen Strange in the 2016 movie Dr Strange

- Rachel first played Robert´s love interest, now she´ll be Benedict´s
- RDJ and BC both play main characters in Marvel movies and were/are the character Sherlock Holmes in different
productions

Idk, wouldn´t it be funny if they all had a scene together in Dr Strange? It just seems funny to me.

Ian McKellen was Magneto in X-Men and was Sherlock Holmes in Mr Holmes. I know Bryan Singer's X-Men isn't Disney just so you know.

Metallica, Iron Maiden, and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fan

I know it is not Disney and my post was about the rolles the actors play and not the company behind.

Cool facts. Totally bitchin! ;)

Now that Downey Jr. and Cumberbatch had some excellent screen time together in Infinity War, the only thing we need now is for McAdams to join both of them for a scene in a future MCU movie. That probably won’t happen if RDJ leaves the MCU after the next Avengers though. Still, he and Cumberbatch sharing the screen was awesome enough!
