The Devil Wears Prada 2 Trailer Has Fans Worried About Miranda
Like, is she OK?
Miranda Priestly is coming back for another walkthrough. Nearly two decades after the icy fashion editor first stomped the runway, she’s making a long-awaited return in The Devil Wears Prada 2. On July 8, 2024, Variety confirmed Disney was developing a sequel of the beloved couture comedy, and now there’s a first look at the return of Miranda, Andy, and the rest of Runway.
There had been rumors about a potential follow-up to The Devil Wears Prada ever since the movie premiered in 2006, but nothing came together until now.
Early reports claimed the movie will center on Miranda Priestly struggling to keep her magazine afloat, and forced to turn to her former assistant Emily Charlton — now a powerful luxury group executive — to try to get her advertising funding. Hm, it sounds like a new devil is in power this time around.
The sequel has now wrapped filming, and the first footage has officially been released.
6 Characters From The Original Will Be Back
As the plot summary indicates, both Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt will be reprising their roles as cold-blooded fashionistas Miranda and Emily.
Shortly after the initial sequel announcement, Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci were also confirmed to reprise their roles as beleaguered assistant Andy Sachs and tart-tongued stylist Nigel Kipling for the upcoming movie.
A couple side characters are also making fashionable returns. Tracie Thoms, who played Andy’s friend Lily in the original, is coming back, as is Runway’s publisher Irv, played by Tibor Feldman.
Tons Of New Faces Will Be In Fashion, Too
The halls of Runway are opening up to several new fashionistas for this sequel. Simone Ashley will be taking over Emily Blunt’s designer shoes to play Miranda’s new assistant. As for the other most important person in Miranda’s life, Kenneth Branagh joins the sequel as the editor’s husband.
Speaking of husbands, both Emily and Andy are also married in the new movie. Justin Theroux has been cast as Emily’s husband, and B.J. Novak joins as Andy’s.
The Runway offices can never have too many busy bees, so helping Ashley out as the new generation of subordinates will be Pauline Chalamet as Emily’s assistant, Caleb Hearon as Andy’s assistant, and Helen J. Shen as Miranda’s second assistant.
The newly announced cast also includes Lucy Liu and Conrad Ricamora, whose roles have yet to be revealed.
Finally, Miranda Priestly may have finally met her match when Mother Monster struts into the new movie. Lady Gaga was officially confirmed to appear in The Devil Wears Prada 2 on Oct. 10, after rumors that she had begun filming in Italy.
The First Teaser Is A Fashionable Reunion
Fans finally got their first taste of the upcoming sequel when a teaser trailer dropped on Nov. 12. The short clip shows Miranda Priestly strutted to an elevator as Madonna’s “Vogue” plays. Once inside, she’s joined by Andy. “Took you long enough,” Miranda exhales, as Andy puts on a pair of shades that matches her own. The clip is a clear signal that the two now see one another as equal partners, a huge dynamic shift from the first movie.
The Trailer Gives Miranda A Weird Quirk
When the full trailer dropped on Feb. 1, fans were a bit confused by Miranda Priestly. Throughout the clip, the fashion maven’s only lines are about how she can’t remember things. She doesn’t recognize Andy or Emily when they all reunite. Of course, it’s classic Miranda to be aloof and cold to everyone around her, but the trailer led to some fans wondering if memory loss will factor into Miranda’s story in the sequel.
Gird Your Loins — It’ll Be A Wait
