Paramount Pictures has released the final trailer for the upcoming comedy sequelZoolander 2, which features the return of a fan-favorite character from the first film. At the time of the release of directorBen Stiller’s ridiculous 2001 comedy,Justin Therouxwas an actor with a number of credits to his name for bit parts here and there. ForZoolander, he played the evil DJ with a soft spot forFrankie Goes to Hollywood’s “Relax,” but little did we know that a few years later, Theroux would pen the screenplays forTropic ThunderandIron Man 2and go on to a stellar starring turn in the HBO seriesThe Leftovers.
As glimpsed at the beginning of this new trailer, Theroux made time for a cameo inZoolander 2, which he co-wrote and was at one point going to direct until scheduling issues withThe Leftoversforced him to drop out. But Theroux isn’t the only highlight of this new trailer. I’ll admit, I’ve been a bit lukewarm on the comedy sequel as a whole in the wake ofDumb and Dumber ToandAnchorman 2, the latter of which wasn’t so much bad as it was forgettable. But this final trailer has a couple of really funny moments, mostly thanks toWill Ferrell’s insane Mugatu, and I’m happy to seeSNLstandoutKyle Mooneypopping up.
So take a look at the final trailer below, via Paramount, followed by a gallery of images from the comedy sequel. The film also starsPenelope Cruz,Owen Wilson,Kristen Wiig, and celebrity gameos galore.Zoolander 2opens in theaters on February 12th.
