While no rationale has been provided for the banning, it's likely that both Stiller and Penn have been banned due to their support for Ukraine during the ongoing conflict.
Ben Stiller met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in June, describing his time with the leader as an honour and calling him "my hero".

"They're gonna win this thing because they're together, and what they're gonna win is going to be otherwise impossible to win, and it's a certainty."
The stars join US President Joe Biden, former First Lady Hillary Clinton, and fellow star Morgan Freeman on the list of banned individuals from Russia.
