Stephen Fry has apparently confirmed on BBC Radio 5 that he'll join the cast of the upcoming sequel to last year's Sherlock Holmes, according to Dark Horizons.
Fry will reportedly play Holmes' arguably smarter brother, Mycroft Holmes, who is also fairly well in with the British government. He doesn't have the physicality of Sherlock, and prefers to solve crimes and whatnot from more of a backseat role, while his younger brother and Watson set about busting heads etc.
Filming is due to begin in the next few months, with the role of dastardly main villain, Moriarty, still being heavily speculated over.
