No word yet on what role she will play but given her good looks she is sure to be a good addition to the cast.

In September, Ferrell told joblo.com that the script for the Zoolander sequel, written by Jennifer Aniston’s fiance Justin Theroux, is done and that his character of Mugatu is set to return.
“We are actually supposed to do a read-through of a sequel script soon, and Mugatu is a part of it,” he said.

The loose premise of Zoolander 2 will see Derek and Hansel trying to compete against younger models as an opposing company tries to take them out from the business.

In December, Stiller said the project was on hold because they wanted to get it right.
“There’s a script we like, but I don’t want to force it, because people who love that movie really love it, so I want to make sure we do the sequel the right way,” he said. “Mike Myers did it well with the Austin Powers movies — they were all funny, and very ‘of their time’. And Zoolander is ‘of its time’, too, so it’s about how we could bring it up to date, to the present day.”

Jonah Hill has been linked to the project as has supermodel Cara Delevingne but neither have been confirmed.
Let’s hope Cruz doesn’t die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
