Morgan Freeman Joins 'Ted 2'

The voice of God will soon be talking to a foul-mouthed teddy bear.

Variety is reporting that screen legend Morgan Freeman is joining the sequel to Ted, Seth MacFarlane's uproarious comedy starring a vulgar stuffed animal who is magically brought to life, only to live a lazy drug-addled existence with his childhood friend John (Mark Wahlberg). 

The film's plot is being kept tightly under wraps, but it will reportedly feature a number of A-list celebrity appearances.

Ted 2 re-teams MacFarlane and Wahlberg, with Mila Kunis being replaced as the love interest by MacFarlane’s A Million Ways to Die in the West co-star Amanda Seyfried. The Family Guy creator is again writing, directing and starring in the film as the voice of Ted. 

The first Ted was a record-breaking success, earning over $500 million at the global box office and cementing MacFarlane as a major Hollywood player beyond just television.

The sequel is expected to reach cinemas in mid-2015.
