“Is Meryl In?” — Hathaway’s First Script Reaction
During the Anne Hathaway The Devil Wears Prada 2 Tokyo Q&A, Hathaway got candid about her initial hesitation to return to the world of Runway. She admitted that her first thought upon receiving the script from writer Aline Brosh McKenna was simply: “Did Meryl read it yet? What did she think?”
“Once I heard Meryl loved it, I knew it had to be amazing,” Hathaway told the cheering Tokyo crowd. “Anything we fans thought Andy, Miranda, and Emily were up to over the last 20 years doesn’t come close to what has been written for us. It was a joy to make.” The sequel, set for a May 1, 2026 release, reportedly follows Miranda Priestly (Streep) navigating the collapse of traditional print media, while Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) has become a high-powered luxury executive holding the advertising dollars Miranda desperately needs.
