No other details have been disclosed regarding Neeson's role, but it could go two ways: either the role could be a departure from Neeson's tough guy persona as seen in the "Taken" movies, or he could remain as himself, as Ted and John are known to be big fans of action stars.
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian West is being rumored to appear in a cameo role in the film. Sugarscape reports that the reality star has been approached for a role in "Ted 2" and that she allegedly has accepted it. Kardashian West will reportedly play a sexy character who flirts and dances with the famous teddy bear.
The website reports that the producers think that the voluptuous star is perfect for the role because of her great sense of humor. If there is any truth to this rumor, then this will be the second movie role for her since 2008's "Disaster Movie." Aside from "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," she also had roles in "30 Rock," "Drop Dead Diva" and "CSI:NY."
"Ted 2" stars Mark Wahlberg as John Bennett, Seth MacFarlane as the voice of Ted, Amanda Seyfried, and Morgan Freeman. The film will be released on June 26, 2015.
