Variety reports that Morgan Freeman has joined the cast of the comedy sequel Ted 2.
Ted saw Seth MacFarlane co-writing, directing and lending his voice as adult talking yet still cuddly bear, with Mark Wahlberg starring as his human buddy John Bennett.
Freeman will reportedly play an iconic civil rights lawyer who comes into the picture when Ted needs to resolve some legal issues. MacFarlane
was reportedly said to be looking for a high-profile actor to play what
has been deemed a fun role, and showed interest in Freeman from the
start.
A Million Ways To Die In The West star Amanda Seyfried is set to play the female lead this time out. Mila Kunis the female lead in the first film is only expected to reprise her role as Lori in a “tiny appearance”, if at all.The chamge is due to a creative decision on behalf of MacFarlane and co-writers Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild and not some falling out between the "Family Guy" creator and one time Oscar host and Kunis....Jessica Barth is set to reprise her role as teddy bear Ted's
girlfriend/cashier co-worker Tami-Lynn. William Shatner will cameo as himself and will be appearing at a superhero fan convention to answer
questions about his role in "T.J. Hooker," and will grow quickly annoyed
as fans keep asking him about "Star Trek".
Production is currently underway in Boston. Universal has pegged Ted 2 for release on April 3rd 2015.
