The cast list for Anchorman: The Legend Continues just keeps getting better and better. The latest news, reported by Comingsoon.net reveals that Harrison Ford will join the movie, playing an “esteemed new anchor,” thought to be a similar role to the one he played in 2010’s Morning Glory.

The movie is soon to start shooting, in Atlanta, Georgia and is expected to land in movie theatres in December. Also joining the cast as newcomers, for the sequel, are Kristen Wiig, James Marsden, Meagan Good and Dylan Baker.
