Just seconds after theZoolander 2trailer premiered two weeks ago, a boycott was launched againstBenedict Cumberbatch’s transgender character All. A loud voice found the caricature highly offensive. Paramount seems to have answered back with the new international trailer, which once again prominently features All. This character isn’t going anywhere, apparently. We’ll let you decide for yourself if this is a good or bad thing.
Beyond that, the international pay-off trailer forZoolander 2brings plenty of new footage, all of which is pretty hilarious. We get to see where Derek has been hiding all these years. And his Blue Steel look seems to have lost all its power. We also get to see more ofWill Ferrell’s dastardly return as Mugatu, who seems more intent than ever on destroying the world. And he’s going to start his revenge mission with a scalding hot cup of Latte in your face.

Now, Derek Zoolander is back, and the world of male modeling has changed.Penélope Cruzstars as Montana Grosso. She recruits Derek (Ben Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) to help stop a killer who is targeting the most beautiful people in the world. And this assassin is starting withJustin Bieber. All of the targets are dying with Derek’s signature look. Blue Steel. And it is seen on the faces of such dead celebrities as Usher Raymond,Demi LovatoandMiley Cyrus.
Derek and Hansel are tasked with infiltrating the world of high fashion. It’s a world they used to know. But not any more. The pair don’t see this as their opportunity to save the beautiful people in the world. They see it as their chance to get back amongst the ranks, since a lot of room is being made, and some replacements are desperately needed. But now, the hunters are becoming the hunted in a insane sequel that takes the Zoolander legacy to a whole new crazy level.
