Stephen Fry cast as the brother of Sherlock Holmes in the sequel to Guy Ritchie’s 2009 film about the genius detective. Fry told The Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live he would be playing Mycroft Holmes – the older brother of Sherlock Holmes. “I’m playing Mycroft in the sequel to the Sherlock Holmes film Guy Ritchie directed with Robert Downey Jr and that sort of part is fun,” Fry told Baker. Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Sherlock, with Jude Law also coming back role as sidekick, Watson. The sequel, to be directed by Ritchie, is still without a title but scheduled for release in December 2011.
