Fans hopes and dreams worldwide have come to life this afternoon as Harrison Ford has officially signed on for a much-long awaited and highly anticipated sequel…

Anchorman 2.

Bet you weren’t expecting that, were you?

Neither were we, but this could end up pretty great. When Ford is equal parts angry and humorous, it’s brilliant stuff, so I can’t wait to see him bouncing off of Ferrell and company.

This isn’t Ford’s first time at a news desk, as he starred as a news anchor in the film Morning Glory.

Details remain minimal on the Anchorman sequel, but Ford is said to be playing a Tom Brokaw type in the film.

Anchorman 2 hits theaters on December 20th, 2013.
