Two new "Zoolander 2" posters have been released Tuesday, and it appears that not much has changed for Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, who both looked eerily the same age as the first movie a decade ago.
With the new, "Zoolander 2" promotional posters, many fans are becoming more excited for the highly-anticipated sequel.
According to Collider, Paramount Pictures released the "Zoolander 2" posters which feature the film's main characters - Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and Hansel McDonald (Owen Wilson), who is Zoolander's rival-turned-friend.
The first "Zoolander 2" poster released by Paramount shows both characters taking selfies of their signature looks, while the second poster for "Zoolander 2" comes in black and white, with only Zoolander in it. The eponymous hero is shown in his Blue Steel look together with a fragrance called "Zoolander No. 2."
According to The Inquisitr, while the comedic aspect of the posters are apparent, it also shows the two actors hardly aging from when the first movie appeared 14 years ago - an impressive feat for editors and the actors who seem to be taking good care of their skin.
Stiller has reportedly been making his intentions of creating a "Zoolander 2" known for years, and it's obvious that the actor has finally gotten his wish.
Apart from Stiller and Wilson, the "Zoolander 2" cast includes Christine Taylor, who is back as Matilda Jeffries, and new additions Penelope Cruz, Billy Zane and Justin Bieber, according to IGN. There have also been rumors that Will Ferrell will be returning as Mugatu.
In March, Stiller sat down with Coming Soon and said that the script for "Zoolander 2" had already been written 10 years ago, making a sequel a definite possibility.
"Last year, we started looking at it again and it seemed like the confluence of events of everybody wanting to do do it, and it got to a point where it actually came together. And it's exciting to finally be able to talk about it, too," Stiller said.
A further confirmation of "Zoolander 2" from Stiller came via a an Instagram post showing Wilson and himself dressed in character. The photo was captioned, "Apparently Derek and Hansel have come to terms on #Zoolander2."
While Ben had been excited, same cannot be said for Wilson, who said in an August interview with The Daily Beast that filming the sequel was awkward since the first one didn't do well commercially.
"The first one didn't do that great, so it's a little odd to be doing a sequel. It wasn't a huge box office hit to begin with but I guess over the years some people really embraced it," Wilson said.
According to Box Office Mojo, "Zoolander" only earned more than $60.7 million at the box office worldwide in 2001, $45 million of which was from the U.S.
Despite Wilson's fear, only time will tell if "Zoolander 2" will be a hit or not.
"Zoolander 2" premieres February 12, 2016 in the United States and the UK.
