The Other Guys are teaming up again. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, who first starred together in the 2010 comedy, are giving the silver screen another go with Paramount Pictures. This time around, they’re pairing up as foes, battling it out for the affection of kids: Ferrell, the mild-mannered radio exec whose gains with his two stepchildren are thwarted when their freeloading dad, played by Wahlberg, comes back to town, according to Deadline. Let the hijinks ensue.
