Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg’s 2010 buddy-cop comedy The Other Guys might not have broke any records at the box office, but the chemistry between the actors was apparently good enough to try pairing them up again for another film.

According to Deadline Hollywood, Ferrell and Wahlberg could reunite for Daddy’s Home, a comedy that was initially set to star Ferrell as the earnest stepfather to a pair of children and Vince Vaughn as the kids’ wild biological father. Wahlberg would now step in to replace Vaughn and play the role of the kids’ real father, who forces Ferrell’s character to compete for their affection.

Ferrell is also a producer on the film, along with longtime collaborator Adam McKay’s production company, Gary Sanchez Productions. We’re The Millers screenwriters Sean Anders and John Morris are in talks to direct; Anders is currently directing the sequel to Horrible Bosses, hitting theaters later this year.

While Ferrell is no stranger to comedy and generally does pretty well as a headliner, Wahlberg has had some hits and misses in the genre. The Other Guys barely broke even at the box office, but 2012’s Seth MacFarlane comedy Ted turned its $50 million budget into $550 million in worldwide ticket sales.

Production on Daddy’s Home is expected to begin this fall, with the studio hoping to move things along at a quick pace once the cast and creative team are confirmed and shooting begins.

3 Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (May 3-5)
The cast of That Thing You Do!

The first weekend in May has arrived, and Hulu fans should be happy to hear that there's a new lineup of movies to enjoy. Like most of the major streamers, Hulu debuts the majority of its library additions on the first of the month. But there will more movies released on Hulu throughout May.

Since the first weekend of May is traditionally timed around the opening of a superhero movie, our first choice this weekend is a comic book film that's celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Our other two picks include Tom Hanks' directorial debut, and a generation-spanning drama that holds up three decades after its release.
