Will Ferrell has promised that Step Brothers 2 will not be a typical sequel.

The actor confirmed this month that he is hoping to shoot the Step Brothers follow-up with John C Reilly later this year.

Ferrell discussed his and co-writer Adam McKay's approach for the sequel in a new interview with The Huffington Post.

"We are kind of kicking around the idea of [a sequel] for Step Brothers," he revealed. "I mean, Anchorman, we tried. But we like the idea of Step Brothers, because it's kind of an anti-sequel sequel."

Ferrell further explained that he is particularly keen in reviving Step Brothers because it seemed to be the most unlikely hit of all his films.

"It's just like the movie that you wouldn't choose, necessarily," the star said. "I mean, [a] Talladega Nights [sequel] makes a lot of sense on paper. Anchorman is kind of written. Step Brothers it's crazy how it's grown and grown and grown, now that it's been out there in the world.

"I always get more Step Brothers references from college kids than I get anything elseâ€¦ so we're loosening up to the thought of doing something and trying to make a sequel feel original."

Ferrell is currently starring opposite Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal in the Spanish-language comedy Casa de mi Padre, now playing in US cinemas.
