The upcoming Zoolander sequel has come under fire after a new trailer was released featuring an androgynous model played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
Critics are calling Cumberbatch's character, named 'All' in the film, a 'cartoonish mockery' of transgender, androgyne and non-binary individuals - and 'the modern equivalent of blackface'.
In the trailer, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are introduced to 'All', who has been dubbed the 'biggest supermodel in the world'.





Looks pretty funny to me.

They're just upset they aren't really really ridiculously good looking.

Bingo. This is something I'd normally wait and see on DVD or Netflix, if at all. Think I'll have to go to the theater to watch it now though.

Who cares? Let all 8 of those weirdos not watch the movie. When did we start giving a frick about what .00001% of the population thought about a movie?

The entire movie is mocking every group of people in it.


How hypocritical of them to just focus on one character.


Either everyone is a target or no one is. frick them.

That phrase makes me hate humanity.
