Ferrell will play a washed-up TV star. He reunites with the actor (Momoa) who played his son on a TV show, and has since become a huge star.

Ferrell will next be seen opposite Amy Poehler in the New Line comedy The House, which opens June 30 and which Gary Sanchez produced.

Momoa will star in the Warner Bros. Justice League as Aquaman in November.
