It is just a rumour so far, but it seems to be an increasingly likely rumour.
As for the Sweetie liking Cumberbatch in other things, um, no. He only finally watched the first episode of Sherlock this past December because I made him for my birthday, but had developed a dislike for him in other things long before that. He called him the worst thing in Tinker Tailor. (To be fair, Cumberbatch is up against a pretty stellar cast in that film.) It is, no doubt, the overexposure that's helped do it for him. That and me and everyone else we know (Everyone!) telling him how awesome Cumberbatch is. (The Sweetie is nothing if not a contrarian. *g*)
