Christina Applegate ‘will be back’ for Anchorman II

Christina Applegate will be back in the much-anticipated “Anchorman” sequel alongside Will Ferrell.

Producer Judd Apatow says the “Up All Night” actress will return as Veronica Corningstone, if negotiations go to plan.

When asked about Applegate, Apatow told E! Online at the Critics Choice TV Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel: “She will be back!”

He added they hoped to pack the movie with many celebrity cameos like they did with the first, saying: “I know they want to do a lot of that. I just don’t know who they’re specifically thinking about.”

When asked what he hopes to see from Ferrell’s character, “What don’t I want to see him do?…I like imagining him in different parts of the world. I like the international aspect.”

Applegate, 40, last week said she wants to return, but it wasn’t yet a done deal. She said: “Of course I would love to be there…They know that. The world knows that. Why wouldn’t I want to?”
