Will Ferrell & Mark Wahlberg Team Up For A-Team Spoof

Mark Wahlberg will play a cop in new comedy B Team

Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell are to star as cops in new comedy B Team.

The movie will be directed by Adam McKay, Empire reports, who worked with Will on the hit comedy Anchorman as well as Talladega Nights and Step Brothers.

The duo are currently working together on their Broadway show You're Welcome America: A Final Night With George W Bush.

While Mark has played a serious cop before - first in Martin Scorsese's The Departed and more recently as a revenge seeking officer in action flick Max Payne - this will be his first comedy cop venture.

But the 37-year-old former rapper - aka Marky Mark - has done comedy before in I Heart Huckabees.
