The original Zoolander’s release was unfortunately timed following 9/11, but the story of a male model who must use both of his brain cells to stop an international assassination plot has become a beloved cult hit over the years. The sequel has been gaining steam since its walk-off announcement in March, with really, really, ridiculously good-looking person Penelope Cruz joining the cast, and some pretty cool news about the return of your friend Billy Zane.
As one half of SNL’s art-dealer couple Nuni and Nuni Schoener, Armisen already explored the strange world of experimental fashion and design in a very Zoolander-esque way, making him a perfect addition to Zoolander 2. While his role hasn’t been revealed, there is a Mugatu-sized hole in the storyline: If Will Ferrell is in the movie at all, he’ll likely be reduced to a prison cameo. So Derek and Hansel will require an off-putting, provocative new designer if they are to have any shot at becoming so hot right now.
