Will Ferrell has confirmed that he will be reprising his role as villain Mugatu in the highly-anticipated Zoolander sequel.

According to Total Film, the actor said: "We are actually supposed to do a read-through of a sequel script soon, and Mugatu is a part of it.”

Justin Theroux recently confirming that he and Ben Stiller have completed a first version of the script, and are working on polishing it up.

Theroux previously said that he may not be able to direct the film due to other work commitments.

He told Vulture: "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.

"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 [Stiller], which would be awesome."
