Great Odin's raven! 
 
By now you’ve likely heard that Will Ferrell’s delusional, chauvinistic teleprompter reader Ron Burgundy will be back in theaters for an Anchorman sequel. Ferrell picked up his flute and stopped by Conan O’Brien’s late-night TV talk show to announce – in NSFW fashion – that Paramount has come to terms on a sequel.
 

Deadline then chimed in with the news that Anchorman director Adam McKay will be back, as will original co-stars Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner. No mention of Christina Applegate, though, which would be a shame if she wasn't in it. Let's hope they can bring her back.
 
As for a plot, an insider told Deadline that Ferrell and McKay were still “kicking around ideas” for the sequel, which doesn’t make it sound like this will be in theaters any time soon. And while Ferrell makes it clear in his Conan announcement that the sequel is official, he makes no mention of a possible release date. 
 
While we wait, we started thinking about other Ferrell characters we’d love to see on screen again. The actor has an aversion to sequels, preferring instead to unleash a new creation on his loyal fan base every year or two. But if Ferrell finds he enjoys revisiting a character while making the Anchorman sequel, here are the five goofy, overconfident man-children we’d love to see the comedian tackle in a feature-length film. 
 
Who’d we miss? Let us know in the comments section below. And remember, stay classy, Fandango readers!
 
1. Buddy the Elf, Elf
Jon Favreau’s sweet Christmas treat has become a holiday tradition in so many homes, primarily because the wide-eyed innocence of Buddy the Elf played perfectly into Ferrell’s latent whimsy as a comedian. The finest Christmas movies don’t spawn sequels – from It’s a Wonderful Life to A Christmas Story. But if Ferrell wanted to slip on the skintight elf suit for another misadventure, we’d consider that an early holiday present. 
 
2. Frank the Tank, Old School
Old School sequel rumors surface every couple of years, probably because Ferrell had so much chemistry with co-stars Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson. Frank’s tumble off the wagon of sobriety remains one of the funniest sequences from the original comedy. Bringing the campus jesters back for another semester of Animal House-inspired insanity would be easy enough … if Frank’s not too busy shopping at Bed, Bath & Beyond with the little lady. 
 
3. Chazz Reinhold, Wedding Crashers
Ferrell’s expletive-laden cameo near the end of Wedding Crashers lasts a scant six minutes. It’s not enough time to spend in the presence of this supremely confident “crasher,” the legendary lady killer who lives in his mother’s basement yet still inspires Vaughn and Wilson to try their luck at infiltrating weddings. He’s just living the dream, and he could do so in his own feature. Maybe a spin-off sequel could help explain Chazz’s obsession with meatloaf?
 
4. Ricky Bobby, Talladega Nights
NASCAR has become a global support, and so it only makes sense for Ferrell to take a cue from Pixar’s Cars 2 and bring the Southern-fried flavor of Ricky Bobby to the international racing circuit. Think about it: It makes complete sense. He already has a foreign rival in Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen). A Talladega Nights sequel would give Ferrell and John C. Reilly the chance to mock various cultures from around the world. And unlike Cars 2, it could actually be funny.
 
5. Jacobim Mugatu, Zoolander
Yet another Ferrell film that inspires fans to demand a sequel. Ben Stiller would have to be on board to play male model Derek Zoolander, which would give Ferrell the opportunity to slither back into the role of criminal fashion mogul Jacobim Mugatu. What sinister plot could they conjure to reunite the Zoolander cast? We’ll saddle up for virtually anything, so long as there’s room for David Duchovny’s hand model and a remix of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s “Relax.”
