It’s all a bit of a muddle when it comes to whether Rachel McAdams will or won’t be reprising her role as the feisty Irene Adler. When the sequel was first announced, Joel Silver told Sci-Fi Wire that “she’ll be present”, before Downey Junior clouded the issue by remarking that, “Irene Adler only appeared in one of the (original) stories.”
The best person to ask of course would be McAdams herself, but the actress seemed none the wiser when MTV quizzed her on the issue a few weeks ago.
“It's kind of all still in the process," she said. "They're still doing script work, so we'll see.” However, given that the film had already begun shooting a couple of weeks prior to these comments, it doesn’t seem likely that she’ll have a large part to play. Indeed, McAdams says herself, “If I do (appear), it won't be a very big thing...it won’t be a lead part.”
So who will the female lead be? Someone you might not have been expecting, as it goes…

Jared Harris, whose most notable big-screen performance to date was a small role in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. He was the grown up WIll in Lost in Space and had one the meatier roles in Happiness, not to mention Natural Born Killers and Dead Man. Christ he's been around for yonks and has had much more screen time than you give him credit for

Lets be honest though the average cinema-goer will most probably only have seen Benjamin Button and maybe Lost In Space but lets be honest that isn't exactly memorable and when you consider that Sherlock Holmes was a 12a then you need to consider that quite a large amount of youngsters would have seen it and would have no idea that Natural Born Killers or Dead Man exist and as such the Benjamin Button reference is pretty correct dependent on whether you look at it from an "average Joe" point of view or the point of view of an intellectual cinema-goer.

I seem to remember Jared Harris quite clearly from 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse' as Dr Ashford. Surely, quite a few people will have seen that, as it would definitely be something the younger zombie-lovin' gaming folk are into?
