Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt are all open to making a third installment of "The Devil Wears Prada"—but only if the script is strong enough to justify the return, the trio told People in an interview published Sunday. Streep also joked that the cast must still be alive to reprise their roles.
Anne Hathaway added,
"And then, everybody has to say yes."Emily Blunt chimed in,
"It’s got to be the core four,"referring to herself, Hathaway, Streep, and Stanley Tucci.
"The Devil Wears Prada 2" debuted 20 years after the original film. Anne Hathaway reflected on her growth since the first movie, telling People,
"The thing that struck me was that when we made the first one, I was just a 22-year-old mess. I mean, I’m in such a different phase of my life. I’m really lucky. I found someone that I love so much [husband Adam Shulman]. We’ve been married for 17 years. We’ve got two kids. I just feel like my life is in a much more complete and whole place. I felt so lost when I was 22, which really worked for the character."
Meryl Streep described relearning her iconic role as Miranda Priestly as
"kind of easy."She explained,
"I think you keep these characters. I liked discovering [Miranda] again."
Emily Blunt shared her enthusiasm for the role, saying,
"You are sort of fused with this person you’re playing. Listen, I love playing this lunatic. I had a lot of fun slithering back into her shoes."
Sequel’s Strong Box Office Debut
The sequel has earned $233 million globally since its release last Friday, outperforming Marvel’s "Thunderbolts", which debuted with a $160 million global opening last summer.
