Ben Stiller has revealed that while development on “Zoolander 2” is traveling at a slow pace, the film will probably “be about ten years later,” “Derek Jr. would be grown, or like at least 10 years old” and “Derek would have to be dealing with the fact that he’s no longer a model.” Stiller also notes any sequel would be dependent on the involvement of Owen Wilson and his Hansel character.
