See the brand new trailer for Zoolander 2 starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Penelope Cruz, Christine Taylor and Kristen Wiig.

Ben Stiller did not know it at the time, but Zoolander 2 being a flop at the box office turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

'And then it's like,"Wow, I must have really f***ed this up. Everybody didn't go to it. And it's gotten these horrible reviews,' Stiller added. 'What scared me the most on that one was I'm losing what I think what's funny, the questioning yourself... on Zoolander 2, it was definitely blindsiding to me. And it definitely affected me for a long time,' he said.

'The wonderful thing that came out of that for me was just having space where, if that had been a hit, and they said"Make Zoolander 3 right now," or offered some other movie, I would have just probably jumped in and done that,' he reasoned. The 2016 comedy co-starring Owen Wilson and Penelope Cruz bombed, earning $28.8 million domestically and a total of $56.7 million globally

The actor and director opened up about the experience in David Duchovny's new podcast Fail Better, which was scheduled to debut May 7 across multiple platforms
