Zoolander 2 is being made, Will Ferrell has revealed.

Ferrell was the main villain in the comedy, Mugatu.

“We are actually supposed to do a read-through of a sequel script soon, and Mugatu is a part of it,” Ferrell said recently, reported JoBlo.

Justin Theroux recently revealed that he’s involved as well.

“Yeah, we’ve got a script for the sequel, and we’ve just been in talks again. We’re trying to sharpen it and hone it and, actually, I don’t want to jinx anything, but it looks like it actually might be starting to get up and running,” he told Vulture.

He said that he’s met with Ben Stiller a few times and that he was set to meet with him again in September.

“I don’t think I’m going to do it anymore. It really depends on whether the show gets picked up. If it gets picked up, then I don’t think I‘ll have the time to do it. So it’ll probably get handed to Ben, which would be awesome,” he said.

There’s no pegged release date since the movie is just getting started.
