Andrew teases return in Sherlock as Moriarty

Los Angeles: Actor Andrew Scott has teased his comeback into the Sherlock universe as villain Jim Moriarty, as he said that the door is never fully closed.

"I think everybody's sort of doing their own separate thing just at the moment," he said to digitalspy.com.

"I know Stephen (Moffat) and Mark (Gatiss) have done a version of 'Dracula' which I'm looking forward to seeing. For me, the door is never fully closed. It's closed at the moment, but that doesn't mean it can't be opened at some point in the future. But it's definitely not something that's on the agenda in the foreseeable future," added the actor.

He also said that he doesn't know much about the future of the BBC One series. Sherlock made Scott along with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman global stars. In second season of the series, Moriarty takes his own life, but keeps on making appearances through flashback sequences.

Is he interested in making a comeback by similar means?

"I would just listen to what their idea was, and just put forward a couple of my suggestions.
