Film fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of his cult character since 2004.
And they got a sneaky peak of what was in store for them as Will Ferrell wandered around the set of Anchorman: The Legend Continues dressed as Ron Burgundy on Wednesday.
The actor, who has been hard at work on the set of the comedy sequel, was dressed in a grey suit and sported his trademark moustache as he relaxed during a break in filming.
Not long to wait: Will Ferrell was spotted wandering around the set of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues in Atlanta on Wednesday
All
of the original cast, who are back for the new film, have been shooting
at various locations all month but are now in Atlanta.
The 45-year-old comedian looked identical to when he first played the role nine years ago, showing off the same full mane of glossy hair and groomed facial hair.
He wore a retro suit with flared trousers and a neck tie, paired with some vintage looking grey boots with a slight heel.

change: The star didn't look any different from when he played the role
nine years ago, sporting the same flowing locks and moustache
While
he was wandering around set in between takes, he threw a light navy
jacket over the top of his outfit, so as to protect it from any
spillages.
It's not just the original cast who are returning for the highly anticipated film, as some other famous faces have been spotted on set.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Monday that Harrison Ford has signed on to play a legendary newscaster opposite Ferrell in the comedy.
Quick break: Will had a rest on set, spending a little alone time during his busy schedule
He
was seen on set in New Orleans earlier in the month and had transformed
his grey hair in to dark locks, turning back the clock.
Also spotted on set was Christina Applegate, 41, who will reprise her role as fellow anchor and love interest Veronica Corningstone.
It's the first time the actress has been seen since she secretly married Dutch bassist Martyn LeNoble on February 23 after four years of dating.
Her new husband and their daughter Sadie, two, were also on location to show their support.
