Star of the iconic fashion film reveals there's no real momentum for a sequel, and the cast is perfectly content.
Emily Blunt, renowned for her roles in The Devil Wears Prada and the recent hit Oppenheimer, has dashed hopes for a sequel to the beloved 2006 fashion-centric movie.
In an entertaining interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast at The 92nd Street Y in New York, the Oscar nominee emphatically stated that there has 'never' been any genuine momentum for creating a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.
The Oppenheimer star shared with host Josh Horowitz that the cast is perfectly content without pursuing a sequel.
In her whimsical and candid style, she remarked: "Sometimes things should be cherished and preserved in this bubble, and it’s okay."
She fondly recalled Meryl Streep's humorous take on the matter, quoting her co-star's response when asked about a potential sequel: "Yeah, if I don’t have to lose the weight. But I think she said ‘the f---ing weight.'"
Streep's iconic response harks back to a 2012 interview with Access Hollywood, adding a dash of humor to the ongoing sequel speculations.
The Devil Wears Prada featured Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt as employees at the fashion magazine Runway, working under the intimidating editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Meryl Streep, who earned an Oscar nomination for her role.
While Blunt provided clarity on the current stance of the cast regarding a sequel, she acknowledged the mixed emotions surrounding the idea.
In 2018, she expressed to PEOPLE skepticism about a second movie, stating: "If everyone did it, I would be up for it."
Yet, she tempered her enthusiasm, noting that sequels can sometimes dilute the uniqueness of the original.
"I almost hope it doesn't [happen] because I think sometimes when you sequel everything kind of dilutes how special the original is," Blunt said.
The uncertainty about a sequel has lingered over the years, with Hathaway expressing doubts due to the film's thematic relevance in a digital era.
Hathaway suggested, in. an interview with The View, that the original movie was rooted in the physical production of content, making it challenging to envision a sequel in today's digitally dominated landscape.
"I just think that movie was in a different era, you know? Now, everything's gone so digital, and that movie centred around the concept of producing a physical thing,” said Hathaway.
“It's just very different now.
"It is tempting to think about Andy and Emily needing to get Miranda her coffee and she's somewhere in Europe. And then along the way they pick up Stanley Tucci in Italy, who's at a restaurant. It's tempting, but I don't think it's gonna happen," she continued.
Hathaway did suggest rebooting the movie with a new cast.
Director David Frankel revealed to Entertainment Weekly in 2021 that the studio hadn't requested a sequel, and the filmmakers, after toying with the idea in a meeting, concluded that the story had been comprehensively told.
While the hope for a Devil Wears Prada sequel may remain unfulfilled, fans can take solace in the knowledge that a musical adaptation debuted in 2022 and is poised to make its way to Broadway.
Meanwhile, Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway, and the rest of the cast continue to share fond memories of their time on the devil's runway.
