Will Ferrell will reprise his role as Jacobim Mugatu in "Zoolander 2" alongside Ben Stiller (Derek Zoolander) and Owen Wilson (Hansel McDonald). Mugatu is a fashion mogul, who brainwashed Derek into assassinating the Prime Minister of Malaysia so they can retain cheap child labor in the United States.
The 47-year-old actor was recently spotted in Rome filming the sequel. Will dyed his hair and beard platinum blonde and wore an outrageous blue tracksuit. Check out the photos shared by Mail Online. Apart from Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, and Owen Wilson, Christine Taylor will return as Matilda Jeffries.
According to the website, "Zoolander 2" will see Derek and Hansel modeling again but the duo faced disaster when an opposing company tries to take them out of business. The film is written by Justin Theroux, who also appeared in the first film.
Also confirmed to star in the sequel are Penelope Cruz, Billy Zane, Kristen Wiig, and Olivia Munn. There will also a slew of celebrities appearing in the movie including Kanye West, Kim Kardashian West, and Lewis Hamilton. Last week, Ben Stiller announced that Justin Bieber will also be part of the film.
The 49-year-old director posted his photo together with the 21-year-old singer on Instagram. They were facing each other doing the "Blue Steel" pose. Selena Gomez's ex-boyfriend also shared that photo on his own Instagram account.
One of today's hottest actors also showed interest in being part of "Zoolander 2." Marie Claire asked Kit Harington if he wanted to be part of the upcoming comedy. "Of course I would, I'm putting it out there, yeah," the "Game of Thrones" star said. "I'd like to play a character in 'Zoolander 2,' I don't want to play myself."
During an ambush interview by TMZ, Bill Zane revealed that there will be another new cast member that nobody has ever mentioned yet. However, his friend from Australia can't keep her mouth shut and mentioned the name of John Malkovich. There's no confirmation yet if the 61-year-old character actor will appear in "Zoolander 2" but him being there will be really awesome.
