He’s the co-creator of Sherlock, the BBC’s most successful international hit. So when we meet Mark Gatiss, there’s one question we want to ask before all others: will the eccentric detective ever return to our screens?
Happily, it sounds like there’s a distinct possibility he will. “I’d love to make a Sherlock film for the big screen,” says Mark, who co-wrote four series before the drama came to an end in 2017.
Mark, who plays Sherlock’s brother Mycroft in the series, knows there would be no shortage of interest in a big-budget cinema outing starring the show’s two leads, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. And he’s not the only one. Co-writer Steven Moffat has said he’d “do Sherlock again tomorrow”, Freeman recently confessed his “door would always be open” to the idea, and Cumberbatch has said he’d “never say never”. So what are they waiting for?
Mark is diplomatic. “The success of Sherlock made Benedict into a big star and Martin into an even bigger star,” he says. “Getting them together would be the problem. Even when we were filming the fourth series, it was increasingly difficult to get them in the same place at the same time. But, who knows? It would be nice to get the elements aligned and see what happens.”

What does he mean? I´m sure that, as a star BC is bigger than MF.
Anyway, a Sherlock movie could be a good thing if they don't do the same that they did with TAB which was promoted as independent from the series which was a lie. I don't know if they, SM and MG, can do a movie on Sherlock without referencing the series.
The interview is interesting.
