Recently, a new cast member has been announced for "Ted 2." It has been confirmed that Morgan Freeman will be joining the film's cast. According to Variety, Freeman will be playing "an iconic civil rights lawyer who comes into the picture when Ted needs to resolve some legal issues."
It has also been announced that a lot of iconic characters and famous actors will be making cameos in the film. The Daily Mail has reported that one of those cameos will be of 1980s icon Sam J. Jones, who played Flash Gordon.
