‘Zoolander 2' trailer shows creepy, androgynous 'Doctor Strange' star Benedict Cumberbatch

Paramount Pictures has finally released the first official trailer for “Zoolander 2.” Main stars Will Ferrell (Mugatu), Ben Stiller (Derek Zoolander) and Owen Wilson (Hansel) are up for another mischief in the sequel that promises more hilarious drama, action and comedy. While the preview gives fans a look at the returning casts, some new familiar faces are also featured including that of “Doctor Strange” star Benedict Cumberbatch. However, the actor is barely recognisable in the trailer because of his makeup and costume.

Cumberbatch plays the character named All in “Zoolander 2.” The first trailer released for the film describes him as the new face of runway fashion, ousting the now “Old” Zoolander and “Lame” Hansel from their former rank in the fashion world.

The trailer below also describes Cumberbatch’s character as the “biggest supermodel in the whole world.” However, there is something utterly disturbing about his looks too, according to the Radio Times. Cumberbatch reportedly looks terrifyingly beautiful with his flawless skin, long black hair and face bereft of eyebrows.

Furthermore, the site noted how Cumberbatch almost looks androgynous because of his makeup. The same description was likewise implied by Zoolander in the trailer below.

“Are you like a male model or a female model?” Stiller asks to which Cumberbatch simply replies, “All is all.”

Cumberbatch’s appearance in “Zoolander 2” was unheard of until now, after the first official trailer has made the rounds online. According to Empire Online, the actor is beginning to grab headlines for his cameo in the sequel.

Twitter users have posted their various reactions upon seeing Cumberbatch’s model look in “Zoolander 2.” One user named Blakbyrd said the actor is best suited portraying the dragon Smaug in the “Hobbit” sequel than looking like an extra-terrestrial being in “Zoolander 2.”

@HuffingtonPost I think I liked him better as a Dragon

The actor also looks different from his scraggy appearance in “Doctor Strange.” Whereas in “Zoolander 2” he boasts a frisk-free hair and shaved face, his look as Stephen Strange a.k.a. Sorcerer Supreme is the total opposite. Photos taken from the Kathmandu set of “Doctor Strange” in Nepal showed Cumberbatch looking haggard and unkept. His hair is uncombed and he also sported a bushy beard.
