The first photo from "Ted 2" has been released to tease fans prior to the movie's upcoming release next summer. The photo, arriving online on Friday, December 19, shows Mark Wahlberg and the foul-mouthed teddy bear getting ready for scuba diving.

From the photo, it seems that the two characters are in less-than-exciting situation. Wahlberg looks unhappy as he sits next to the bear who holds a shovel. Both of them are already in full diving gear.

Speaking to EW, director Seth MacFarlane declined to reveal the plot of the highly-anticipated movie. He only said that there wouldn't be a new character in addition to Ted's entourage. "It's basically the way we treated Stewie in 'Family Guy'," he explained. "He's the only one of his kind who can talk."

Set for a June 26 release, "Ted 2" also features appearances from Amanda Seyfried who takes over the female lead role from Mila Kunis and Morgan Freeman who plays a civil rights lawyer. Liam Neeson, John Slattery, Jessica Barth and Patrick Warburton are also among the cast members, joining MacFarlane who voices the bear and co-wrote the script with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild.
