British actor Stephen Fry has been added to the cast of Sherlock Holmes 2, as the famous detective’s older brother Mycroft.
Mycroft appeared in four of the Sherlock Holmes books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, presented as a more intelligent, but rather lazy version of Sherlock.
Fry announced the news on Saturday, at Danny Baker’s BBC radio show.
Robert Downey Jr. will reprise the role of detective Holmes, opposite Jude Law as Watson.
Swedish actress Noomi Rapace – mostly known from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – was also cast in the sequel.
Fry was cast in some major roles throughout his career and had a recurring role in the television series Bones. He is famous as well for the 1997 documentary drama movie, Wilde, about the life of author Oscar Wilde.
