Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows has got two brand new character posters in anticipation of its December release. Being unveiled via Digital Spy, the fresh one sheets take the focus on Robert Downey Jr.‘s titular character and his loyal assistant, Jude Law‘s Dr. Watson.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows poster presents Robert Downey Jr. in his famous detective attire with some sort of steampunk-looking automatic pistol on one hand. Looming in the background was a smoking Eiffel Tower. The Watson poster, meanwhile, pictures Jude with some sort of weapon while standing before London’s Big Ben which has giant clouds of smoke billowing from its base.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows follows Sherlock as he pursues a new criminal mastermind at large, Professor Moriarty. Equally as intellect as Sherlock, Moriarty has an advantage over the renowned detective for his capacity for evil and complete lack of conscience. Still, Sherlock gets new helps in the form of his older brother Mycroft Holmes and a gypsy woman named Sim.

A sequel to 2009′s “Sherlock Holmes“, this action mystery film is directed by Guy Ritchie and is due for U.S. release on December 16. Jared Harris, Noomi Rapace and Stephen Fry are added to the cast ensemble, while Rachel McAdams returns to portray Irene Adler.
