First Look: Mark Wahlberg & His Bear Get Ready to Dive in 'Ted 2'

Los Angeles: The first photo from 'Ted 2'has been released to tease fans prior to the movie's upcoming release next summer. The photo shows Mark Wahlberg and the foul-mouthed teddy bear getting ready for scuba diving, reported Ace Showbiz. From the photo, it seems that the two characters are in less-than-exciting situation. Wahlberg looks unhappy as he sits next to the bear who holds a shovel. Both of them are already in full diving gear. Director Seth MacFarlane declined to reveal the plot of the highly-anticipated movie. He only said that there wouldn't be a new character in addition to Ted's entourage. "It's basically the way we treated Stewie in 'Family Guy'. He's the only one of his kind who can talk." Set for a June 26 release, 'Ted 2' also features appearances from Amanda Seyfried who takes over the female lead role from Mila Kunis and Morgan Freeman who plays a civil rights lawyer. Liam Neeson, John Slattery, Jessica Barth and Patrick Warburton are also among the cast members, joining MacFarlane who voices the bear and co-wrote the script with Alec Sulki and Wellesley Wild.

Ted 2 is directed by Seth MacFarlane, who also voices the title teddy bear, with a script he co-wrote with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild (writers of MacFarlane's previous directing efforts 'Ted' and 'A Million Ways to Die in the West').
