The first Ted 2 trailer has just been released and offers our first proper look at the highly-anticipated sequel. Check it out!
After three long years, the loveable, foul-mouthed teddy bear is back.
The trailer unveils the plot of Ted 2 for the first time. The adorable yet grotesque bear voiced by Seth MacFarlane marries his girlfriend Tammy and looks to start a family, but first they need to find a sperm donor (because Ted is… you know… a bear). New characters played by Amanda Seyfried and Morgan Freeman represent Ted in the court of law.
Ted 2 sees some of the great cast from Ted return. In this sequel, MacFarlane, Mark Wahlberg, and Sam Jones will also be joined by Liam Neeson.
The original film, released in June 2012, grossed an impressive $549 million worldwide. Naturally, Universal is hoping for similar success with the sequel. So long as it carries the same number of laughs, the studio probably has another huge hit on their hands. We imagine that the people who ended up seeing Ted on DVD/Blu-ray/Digital for the first time will be enticed to hit the theater this time so they can laugh along with others, so the box office may climb even higher.
It’s a little sad that Mila Kunis won’t be returning for this sequel. She was very good in the original, but we can hope that MacFarlane (who directed and co-wrote the film) will prove that her absence will work just as good in Ted 2 as her presence did in Ted. Presumably Seyfried’s character will be a sort of replacement for what Kunis brought to the screen.
The previous film showed MacFarlane making some brilliant creative decisions. Unfortunately, he wasn’t nearly as strong in last year’s A Million Ways to Die in the West, so we’re cautiously optimistic that Ted 2 will return to its predecessor’s heights.
