(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Ben Stiller has revealed that filming for Zoolander 2 is about to commence.

The actor, who boasts an impressive comedy CV ranging from 2000s Meet the Parents to 1998s Theres Something About Mary, will revive perhaps his most iconic role as dim-witted fashion model Derek Zoolander. The 45-year-old confirms close friend Owen Wilson will also resume his role as the obnoxious Hansel.

Its ten years later and most of it is set in Europe. I dont want to give away too much, but its basically Derek and Hansel ten years later, he told Empire Magazine.

Ben also shed light on other actors destined to return for the sequel, paving the way for the return of long-time collaborator Will Ferrell. Will played manipulative Jacobim Mugatu in the 2001 film and Ben feels his return is essential to the plot.

Will Ferrell is written into the script and hes expressed interest in doing it. I think Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way, Ben added. (C) Cover Media
