Emily Blunt recently discussed the possibility of a sequel to the beloved film “The Devil Wears Prada.” In an interview with Josh Horowitz for the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the 40-year-old actress, who played Emily Charlton in the original film, revealed that there hasn’t been any momentum for a sequel and that the cast is perfectly content with not doing one.
During the podcast, Blunt humorously expressed her belief that certain things should be cherished and preserved in a bubble, indicating that it’s okay not to have a sequel. She referenced Meryl Streep’s funny response to the question of whether she would do a sequel, where Streep quipped that she would only do it if she didn’t have to lose weight. Blunt playfully added that Streep actually said, “the f—ing weight.”
This echoes sentiments expressed by Blunt’s co-star Anne Hathaway, who previously stated that a sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada” was no longer a possibility. However, fans of the film can take comfort in the fact that Blunt and Hathaway recently reunited for Variety’s Actors on Actors series, where they reminisced about making the iconic movie and shared their first impressions of each other.
In other news related to “The Devil Wears Prada,” a musical adaptation of the film debuted in 2022 and is set to head to Broadway. So while fans may not get a sequel, they can still enjoy the story and characters in this new format.
Overall, it seems that the cast of “The Devil Wears Prada” is content with leaving the film as it is and not pursuing a sequel. As Blunt playfully suggests, perhaps some things are better left untouched, allowing them to be treasured and preserved in their original form. With their funny and lighthearted comments, Blunt and Streep add to the charm and legacy of this beloved film.
