Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg returning for "Daddy's Home 2"

PanARMENIAN.Net - Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg will be engaged in another testosterone fight. The duo are reuniting for the sequel of family comedy "Daddy's Home" with Sean Anders returning to the director's seat, AceShowbiz reports.

Paramount Pictures and Gary Sanchez Productions announced the project on Friday, April 22 but did not mention other original cast such as Linda Cardellini and Thomas Haden Church. According to Deadline, the first movie's scribe John Morris will return to write the sequel with Anders but the official logline is kept under wraps.

"Daddy's Home" follows a mild-mannered radio executive (Ferrell) who strives to become the best stepdad ever to his wife's two children. Complications ensue when their freewheeling, freeloading real father (Wahlberg) arrives, forcing stepdad to compete for the affection of the kids. Released in December 2015, it made $240 million worldwide.

At the end of the story, [Spoiler Alert] Wahlberg was married to another woman and was the stepfather of her child. John Cena popped up at the last minutes as the biological father who had a cool bike and cold attitude towards Wahlberg. The sequel may or may not explore Wahlberg's struggle to win over Cena and his stepchild's affection with the help of Ferrell.
