Benedict Cumberbatch Shuns Gender Norms As 'Zoolander 2' Supermodel [Trailer + Pictures]

Some of the most beautiful stars in the world including Justin Bieber, Usher, Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus have all been brutally assassinated by an unknown villain, with all of them having managed to post a final selfie. There's a theme running throughout these last moments though; the celebrities are all gazing into the camera with Zoolander's trademark look, Blue Steel.
Unsure of the meaning of this unusual circumstance, Interpol official Montana Grosso (Penelope Cruz) enlists Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and his pal Hansel (Owen Wilson) in their mission to stop the killer, getting them to absorb themselves in the world of fashion once again.

It's a very different world to the one they left, however. Once major stars in their field, the runways have been taken over by a younger breed of model, such as the androgynous supermodel All, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Zoolander is no longer confident of his photogenic talent with all these new blood filling his shows, and it seems he's long past the days of stopping shurikens with his Magnum look.
To make matters more complicated, Mugatu (Wil Ferrell) has been released from prison after his long stretch for attempted murder of the Prime Minister of Malaysia - and he's even more evil than he was before.
'Zoolander 2' is scheduled to be released on February 12th 2016.
