Portrayed byJude Law
“The year was 1891. Storm clouds were brewing over Europe. France and Germany were at each other's throats, the result of a series of bombings. Some said it was the Nationalists. Others, the anarchists. But as usual, my friend Sherlock Holmes, had a different theory entirely.”
– John Watson

Dr. John H. Watson is the deuteragonist of Sherlock Holmes film trilogy by director Guy Ritchie, portrayed by British actor Jude Law. He is a doctor and former army doctor, the husband of Mary Morstan and the best friend and former flatmate of Sherlock Holmes.

As sidecick of Holmes, Watson helped him to fight cult leader and occultist Lord Henry Blackwood, also falling for the criminal' apparent death. After his real death by the intervention of Holmes, John helped him to fight the criminal mastermind James Moriarty, but also becoming the target of his threats, with his wife as collateral damage. In the end, he helped to foil Moriarty's plot at the Reichenbach conference by helping to expose and arrest the revolutionary René Heron, but was just in time to witness the sacrifice of his friend Holmes, who threw himself and Moriarty into the waterfalls surrounding the conference. Some time later, he seemed to realise that his friend might still be alive when he realised that his friend appeared to have gone to his flat to drop off a package, a respirator.

Personality

Like his flatmate and best friend, Watson was sarcastic and quick-witted, often arguing with Sherlock Holmes or Sherlock's brother, Mycroft. He was also brave and highly intelligent, often risking his life alongside Sherlock and using deductive reasoning for uncover hidden things, following the footsteps of his friend. Despite this however, he was noted by Sherlock to have passion for gambling he barely surmounted, and was also short-tempered at occasion.
