Well what do you know, Morgan Freeman<\/a> the actor with such an authoritative voice will join the cast of Universal and MRC\u2019s \u201cTed 2\u201d. Morgan Freeman\u2019s representative told TheWrap<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The role of Morgan Freeman would be such that he would be a civil rights lawyer who helps the foul-mouthed bear named Ted resolve legal issues. The film is currently in the production phase in Boston. The movie is bringing back much of the original cast, including Mark Wahlberg<\/a> the star leader. Seth MacFarlane<\/a> is the writer, director and the voice behind Ted.<\/p>\n

The original film grossed $218 million domestically.<\/p>\n

Those of you who don\u2019t know the current status, Morgan Freeman is an executive producer on upcoming CBS pilot \u201cMadam Secretary\u201d starring Tea Leoni and recently voiced Vitrvius in \u201cThe Lego Movie<\/a>\u201d. The movie earned $210 million domestically. He is currently co-starring in the Warner Bros. film \u201cDolphin Tale 2\u201d.<\/p>\n

The MacFarlane brand suffered a blow this summer after \u201cA Million Ways to Die at the West<\/a>\u201d disappointed at the box office. The multi hyphenate was also hit with a lawsuit in July claiming \u201cTed\u201d was bases on a web series. Bengal Mangle Productions filed a lawsuit in a U.S. district court and claimed that it created a screenplay, \u201cActing Academy\u201d in 2008 that featured a character Charlie. The description of Charlie is \u201ca teddy bear who lives in a human, adult world with all human friends. Charlie has a penchant for drinking, smoking, prostitutes, and is a generally vulgar yet humorous character.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although the lawsuit has not derailed plans for the film\u2019s release. The movie is scheduled to debut June 26, 2015. The script was co-written by Alex Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, and the film is produced by Scott Stuber with MRC co-financing the pic.<\/p>\n
