Despite both being Saturday Night Live stars, albeit at different times, one may find it surprising that the only time Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig were featured in the same film together was 2008’s Semi-Pro, where the latter played a minor role. But it looks like the Bridesmaids star will now get a major part in Anchorman: The Legend Continues. After being rumored for a role last December, check out director Adam McKay’s tweet below:

 

There’s no confirmation on her precise character, but last we heard it was the love interest to Steve Carell‘s classic weather reporter, Brick Tamland. We know that David Koechner, Paul Rudd and Christina Applegate will also be returning, but no word yet on Fred Willard, Fred Armisen, Chris Parnell and many more. Regardless, we can expect many surprises, as McKay previously said he wanted to fill out the whole cast with comedians. In the meantime, get a dose of Wiig and Ferrell together with their hilarious bit at the Golden Globes.

Anchorman: The Legend Continues slides into theaters on December 20th, 2013.
