Fans will certainly be in for a big surprise once "Sherlock" Season 4 comes out as reports are circulating that Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend, Tom Hiddleston, will play the role as the third Holmes brother. Apparently, the rumor started during this year's Comic Con after "Sherlock" regular Mark Gattis and Amanda Abbington were seen with Tom Hiddleston in several photo ops.
It was previously hinted by Mycroft Holmes, which played by Mark Gattis, that a possible third sibling might just be around the corner. During the final episode of the third season, Gattis said; "I'm not given to outbursts of brotherly compassion. You know happened to the other one." If rumors prove to be true, the addition of Hiddleston in "Sherlock" Season 4 will definitely make the show even more interesting.
