Justin Theroux has told Sky News people concerned about Benedict Cumberbatch's cameo as a non-gender-binary supermodel in Zoolander No 2 will soon see it is "much ado about nothing".
A boycott was threatened and petition was launched after the trailer revealed the Sherlock star's long-haired character, All.
Makers of the film came under fire for making a "cartoonish mockery" of "androgyne/trans/non-binary individuals".
But screenwriter Theroux told Sky News the scene shows that it is male models Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) who are the butt of the joke.
"When you see the film you see it's much ado about nothing but I am of course sympathetic to people who are wary of that character," he said.
"But the joke, I think we're very clear, is on two ageing, middle-aged models. Those are the idiots, you know.
"Benedict's part is a very empowered part, someone who's the most powerful fashion model in the industry and a very strong character.
Dozens of fans crowded outside the Valentino window to get a glimpse of the pair in character as Derek Zoolander and Hansel
