Justin Bieber is dead ... but only in the movies. The Canadian singer has a cameo role in "Zoolander 2" where he dies in the end. Movie fans were given hint of his role in the movie when Justin recently dressed up as Derek Zoolander, according to Seventeen.

The movie's trailer was released on Wednesday morning. The New York Post reports that the movie has at least four winning moments. These includes the gender-ambiguous role of Benedict Cumberbatch of a model named All who does not have eyebrows, a fashion figure named Alexanya Atox portrayed by Kristen Wilg and Will Ferrell "scalding" with a latte his assistant.

But the trailer already riled the LGBT community because of Cumberbatch's androgynous character that LGBTQnation accused the movie of being transphobic. The website initiated a petition calling for a boycott of the film.

The character he played was asked by Zoolander, played by Ben Stiller, and Hansel, played by Owen Wilson, if he is a male or female model and if he has "a hot dog or a bun." The model then giggles and says, "Whoops."

The petition says the character played by Cumberbatch mocks androgynous, trans and non-binary individuals. It notes that if the producers wanted to provide social commentary on such type of people in the fashion industry, they suggested approaching models such as Andreja Pejic.

However, the daily says the most memorable winning moment is when a goon on a motorcycle runs after Bieber and corners him in an alley. Justin does a backflip from a brick wall and lands in a squatting position like Spiderman. But he is shot by the bad guy.

Before losing his breath, Bieber says, "Peace out, world," purses his lips, takes and selfie and dies!
