LOS ANGELES — Robert Downey Jr. is trading his metal suit for a deerstalker hat, following his action blockbuster “Iron Man” with the title role in “Sherlock Holmes,” a mystery drama based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective and an upcoming comic book about Holmes by Lionel Wigram. Guy Ritchie (“Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”) is directing the Warner Bros. film, which is set to begin shooting in October, the studio said Thursday. No other cast members have been announced for the film, which will be set in Holmes’ late 19th-century London.
