And Zoolander fans rejoice. Will Ferrel has confirmed that Mugatu will be present in Zoolander 2!
The funny man confirmed that his character will indeed be appearing as the fashion designer who initially tried to brainwash zoolander into making his line using child labor.
Acoording to New York Post,
The actor told joblo.com that the script is done and that his character is set to return.
'We are actually supposed to do a read-through of a sequel script soon, and Mugatu is a part of it,' he said.
The loose premise of 'Zoolander 2' will see Derek and Hansel trying to compete against younger models as an opposing company tries to take them out from the business.
It is set to be directed by Justin Theroux, Jennifer Aniston's fiance.
The 'Zoolander' sequel has had a couple of false starts.
In December, Stiller said the project was on hold because they wanted to get it right.
'There's a script we like, but I don't want to force it, because people who love that movie really love it, so I want to make sure we do the sequel the right way,' he said. 'Mike Myers did it well with the Austin Powers movies - they were all funny, and very 'of their time.' And 'Zoolander' is 'of its time,' too, so it's about how we could bring it up to date, to the present day.'
Jonah Hill has been linked to the project, as has supermodel Cara Delevingne, but neither has been confirmed."
Fans will surely be thrilled with the upcoming developments in this sequel as almost any movie with Will Ferrel in it is set to definitely be funny.
