Penelope Cruz Joins 'Zoolander 2'

Zoolander 2 is one on those long awaited sequels that has been trying to be made for a very long time, and it looks like now it is picking up steam to actually happen. The last we heard was Will Ferrell commenting that he was supposed to read a script, and now it looks like a new star has joined the film. It has been reported that Penelope Cruz has sign on to star in the sequel to the 2001 comedy.

Deadline reported on the addition of Cruz to the cast of Zoolander 2. The sequel will see Ben Stiller directing and reprising his role as Derek Zoolander, with the script for the film written by Justin Theroux. Rumors around the film also point to the return of Owen Wilson as Hansel and Will Ferrell as Mugatu, but no reliable reports or official confirmations have been made on that.

I have been in the camp of those who believe that it was a little too late for this film to be made, but having liked the first one so much I have also said that I would still watch a sequel if it was eventually made. With the success that Dumb and Dumber To had and it being a film in a similar situation like Zoolander 2, it proves that this sequel could actually be worth making after all. I would still think that making Zoolander 2 is a bit of a risk, but if it ends up being made let's hope other people are still interested in seeing this sequel.
