Actress Amanda Seyfried is replacing Mila Kunis for the female lead role in Ted 2. Apparently, it's Seth MacFarlane's creative choice.
In a surprising cast announcement, it was reported in Deadline that Amanda Seyfried will be replacing Mila Kunis as the female lead in Ted 2, a sequel to the 2012 R-rated comedy hit.
According to Deadline, this does not reflect at all on the positive working relationship between writer-director Seth MacFarlane, who voices the foul-mouthed Bostonian teddy bear, and Kunis. It is said to stem from a creative decision on MacFarlane’s part, but the two still work regularly on the TV series Family Guy where Kunis voices the character of Meg. Kunis is expected to appear, if at all, in a very small part for Ted 2.
Amanda Seyfried recently wrapped working with MacFarlane on this May’s upcoming western themed R-rated comedy, A Million Ways to Die in the West. And if you have seen the red band trailer, then you know laughing may be one of the titular ways.
The previous Ted picture is the most successful R-rated comedy to date, earning $549 million worldwide. Mark Wahlberg will return for the sequel.
