'Ted 2' Movie Release Date, Cast & Trailer: Morgan Freeman as Weed Lawyer for Vulgar Teddy Bear

Imagine the foul-mouthed, weed-smoking teddy bear with issues, getting arrested (most likely for smoking pot).

Then imagine the actor who voiced God himself in one of his most notable roles, in court.

Now imagine the two of them in the same scene, and what would you think?

Weird? Confusing? Unlikely?

Or maybe all three, because according to Variety, the 77-year-old Freeman will be part of the comedy sequel, "Ted 2" as the civil rights lawyer who will help the teddy bear sort out some entanglement he got into with the law.

"Ted 2" is a deviation from Freeman's more serious characters, but the actor is known to take on diverse roles, recently appearing in the family film "Dolphin Tale 2" and voicing Vitruvius in "The Lego Movie."

Freeman joins the cast of "Ted" with returning stars, Mark Wahlberg, Jessica Barth, and Patrick Warburton, as well as newcomer Amanda Seyfried.

"Ted" is a story about John (Wahlberg) who is still best friends with his talking, living (often foul-mouthed) teddy bear. The story focuses on the pair's friendship and crazy shenanigans, and the devotion of the bear to his owner into his adulthood. Sure, if you put it like that, the story is heartwarming, but as is expected of a film written, directed, and voiced by Seth MacFarlane, it is more comical than anything.

The pair is expected to pick up their tandem into the sequel, but how they have developed since the first movie is the plot for the sequel.

Variety also said that the sequel was co-written by Alex Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, produced by Scott Stuber, and co-financed by MRC. It is currently filming with a June 2015 release date set.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the original film, which included Mila Kunis in the cast, was among the highest-grossing R-rated film in 2012, with a whopping $549.4 million in box office sales.

But back to the bear and the voice of God (who will be playing a tough lawyer) being in the same movie: in what way do you think Ted's civil rights have been violated? Do stuffed teddy bears even have civil rights in the United States?

These are questions posted by the website, Cinema Blend, and frankly, we would all want to know the answers to that. But it will have to wait though, at least we know that Ted's fate is going to be in the hands of God (kind of).
