Well this would be cool if it turns out to be true. SuperHeroHype says they’ve been told by unconfirmed sources that director Guy Ritchie wants Daniel Day Lewis to play Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes 2. SHH also reports that Sean Penn, Javier Bardem, and Gary Oldman are rumored to be under consideration for the role. For those who don’t know, Professor Moriarty is Holmes’ arch-nemesis, and was set up as the sequel’s antagonist at the end of the first film.
Brad Pitt’s name has been mentioned in connection to the part on multiple occasions. However, if these rumors turn out to be true, then perhaps Ritchie and Warner Bros. have given up the ghost on getting the popular actor. I think Day-Lewis would be an even better decision. I also think Oldman would be a solid choice and Bardem’s a fascinating pick. But Penn? I just can’t picture him in the role. Sherlock Holmes 2 is slated to hit theaters on December 16, 2011. Filming begins this fall.

I'm sorry, I love Javier Bardem, but he's can't do an English accent even at gunpoint.
now, I would LOVE to see DDL work in one of Guy Ritchie's old mob movies
This would be a coup for Ritchie if DDL accepts. Love this bloke's work. Get HIMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! lolz!!!
why are they even making a remake of that crappy movie!

DDL – never thought about that, and it's just about perfect. Also a big fan of Oldman. Bardem – doesn't really work. Penn – over-rated – hate his guts.
DDL and Downey would make a great pairing.
i still go with Brad Pitt. They could have lots of fun with Brad Pitt, Downey and Law.
i love DDL, but he needs to redeem himself after Nine. i know Nine isnt really that bad(and the unfairness of being compared to probably the masterpiece of masterpieces , Fellini’s 8 1/2). but his There Will Be Blood performance is probably in the top 5 of the best performance ever, if not the best. DDL, just start to polish your latin accent and prepare for Scorsese’s Silence. DDL is a monster everytime he takes a hiatus and is well prepared for a role.
