While the first movie featured an amusing narrator voiced by Patrick Stewart (X-Men: Days of Future Past), and an amazing guest appearance from the riotous Sam Jones (Flash Gordon), Ted 2 looks to be upping the ante by adding another A-list celebrity to the cast list; none other than Morgan Freeman.
Whilst Mila Kunis won’t be returning for the sequel, Amanda Seyfried (recently seen in A Million Ways to Die in the West) is stepping in to provide a new love interest form Mark Wahlberg’s John Bennett, and writer/director Seth MacFarlane is of course returning to voice and mo-cap Ted; the outrageous talking teddy bear from which the films get their title.
Patrick Warburton and Jessica Barth will also be returning for the comedy which is filming right now in Boston (but still has its plot details largely under wraps), and will also place Richard Schiff (Man of Steel) on screen when it’s released on June 26th 2015 in the US, before making its official UK release date on July 10th 2015.
