Viewers Spot Historical Error in ‘Enola Holmes 3’ First Look Photos: “Aren’t they in the 19th century?”
The first preview of Enola Holmes 3 has already sparked discussion online, with some viewers pointing out what they believe is a historical mistake in the film’s setting. The reaction came after Netflix released early visuals featuring Millie Bobby Brown returning as the lead character.
The movie continues the story of Enola Holmes, a young detective navigating cases in a Victorian-era world. Millie Bobby Brown, who is now 22, once again takes on the role that first became popular through the Netflix film series.
According to reactions shared on social media, some viewers felt certain modern-looking details in the preview did not match the time period of the story. Comments quickly appeared questioning the accuracy of some styling choices shown in the images.
One user wrote, “Ah yes, historically accurate gel nail set and lip filler,” while another added, “Wow, lip filled in 1889.” Another viewer questioned the look more directly, asking, “Why does she have her nails done? Aren’t they in the 19th century?”
The discussion mostly focused on Millie Bobby Brown’s appearance in the role, with some online users debating whether her styling fits the historical setting of the film. Others also commented on her long-standing visibility in pop culture and how her image has changed since her earlier roles.
Netflix has not responded to the comments, and there is no confirmation that any of the details pointed out reflect actual historical errors in the film. The discussion is based only on early promotional material shared online.
Enola Holmes 3 follows the second film, which was released on November 4, 2022. The new installment is scheduled to arrive on July 1.
The cast is expected to include Millie Bobby Brown alongside Louis Partridge, who plays her on-screen partner, and Henry Cavill, returning as Sherlock Holmes.
For now, the reaction remains part of early fan discussion as audiences wait for the film’s full release.
