No, of course that's not the point of Sherlock Holmes, and I think that you'd be hard pressed to find someone who thought it was.
I suppose that you could break it down to say that Holmes uses deduction to figure out who the criminals are, and then may use an alternate set of skills to apprehend them, though to be fair, he frequently relies upon the police in the novels.
Honestly, I don't think that they plan to reinvent him as an action hero, but more likely he'll just play a more active role in his apprehension of the criminals. At least, so I can hope. =\
