EXCLUSIVE: Miranda Priestly's New Hubby Looks Like He Can Handle Her Fiery Temper!

The Devil Wears Prada is back, and this time it's got more drama than ever! We've got the scoop on the highly anticipated sequel to the 2006 hit comedy, which made over £300 million at the global box office and earned Meryl Streep a Best Actress nomination at the Oscars. And let's just say, things are about to get even more juicy!

As filming for the sequel heats up, our sources close to the project confirm that Kenneth Branagh, 64, has been cast as Miranda Priestly's new hubby! That's right; the Oscar-winning actor is trading in his director's chair for a spot on screen opposite Meryl Streep. And from what we can gather, he looks like he's more than up for the task.

We caught a glimpse of Branagh and Streep out and about in NYC, looking every inch the power couple. The dashing actor was seen escorting his leading lady to dinner at a trendy restaurant, dressed to the nines in a sharp suit and tie. Meanwhile, Streep looked stunning in a red frock that showcased her signature style and poise.

But don't get too distracted by their adorable chemistry – we've got the tea on the plot, and it's going to be epic! The sequel picks up where the original left off, with Miranda struggling to come to terms with the collapse of the magazine industry. As she tries to navigate this new landscape, she finds herself forced to rebuild bridges with her former assistant Emily (played by Emily Blunt), who's now running a luxury brand and has her sights set on getting revenge on her former boss.

Yes, you read that right – Emily Charlton is back, and she's not happy about being screwed over by Miranda all those years ago. With the two women locked in a battle of wits and power, it's anyone's guess who'll come out on top. And with Patrick Brammall (of Colin From Accounts fame) joining the cast as Andy Sachs' new love interest, things are about to get even more complicated.

We caught up with Anne Hathaway, who returns for the sequel alongside her former co-stars Streep and Blunt. We asked her what she thought of the new plot twists, and she dished: "It's going to be a wild ride! The script is amazing, and I think fans of the original are going to love where we take it."

As for Branagh, he seemed to be enjoying his time on set with Streep. When we approached him for comment, he quipped: "I'm just thrilled to be working with Meryl again – she's a force of nature, and I'm loving every minute of it!"

With its star-studded cast and sizzling plot, The Devil Wears Prada sequel is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about movies of 2024. And let's not forget – we've got the scoop on all the behind-the-scenes drama, so stay tuned for more updates!
