Neeson will share his special skill set with Seth McFarlane’s talking teddy.
Seth MacFarlane must have enjoyed having Liam Neeson play the villain in his otherwise disastrous One Million Ways to Die in the West earlier this year, because he’s invited the formidable Irish actor to join the cast of Ted 2.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, MacFarlane confirmed Neeson’s involvement via Twitter on Wednesday (September 24), noting that Neeson had actually already been to the set this week.
MacFarlane is once again directing the movie, in addition to co-writing the script and providing the voice and raunchy dialogue for Ted himself. In addition to Neeson, the cast now also includes the first film’s star, Mark Wahlberg, along with Amanda Seyfried and Morgan Freeman.
Whatever role Neeson ends up playing, we imagine it will be a whole lot less grim that his current turn in A Walk Among the Tombstones. Ted 2 opens on June 26, 2015.
