It's finally here! Welcome back, Derek Zoolander!

The first Zoolander 2 teaser trailer was released on Sunday and it's so hot right now. In the clip, Ben Stiller's "really, really, ridiculously good looking" model character ponders one of life's most ancient riddles.

"If God exists, then why did he make ugly people?" he asks.

Our hero also discusses the film's title with a narrator using a DECtalk speech synthesizer, who minces no words when it comes to his assessment of Zoolander's mental capabilities.

Zoolander 2, the sequel to the 2001 hit comedy film, also features returning stars Owen Wilson (Zoolander's rival model, Hansel), Will Ferrell (the villain Mugatu) and Stiller's wife, Christine Taylor (Zoolander's lady, journalist Matilda Jeffries). And, of course, Billy Zane.

Stiller and Wilson announced the movie in March by making a surprise appearance on the runway, dressed as their characters, at the Valentino show during Paris Fashion Week.
