Streep & Co. Return: Devil Wears Prada Sequel Finally Gets Underway!

SCANDALOUS SEQUEL SCOOP!

The wait is finally over, darling! Filming for the long-awaited sequel to the iconic 2006 comedy-drama, The Devil Wears Prada, has officially begun, and we've got the inside scoop on who's joining the star-studded cast!

Four-time BAFTA winner Kenneth Branagh, 64, is set to play the husband of ice queen fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, played by the incomparable Meryl Streep. According to thescholarlynote.com, Branagh will be part of the 20th Century Studios production, which is slated for release on May 1, 2026.

But here's the tea: not everyone is thrilled about the plotline involving Streep's iconic character. The sequel will follow Miranda Priestly as she navigates the challenges of a declining print magazine industry and faces off against Emily Blunt's high-powered executive character, who has advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.

The news left fans divided, with some praising the "realistic" plotline and others slamming the idea of making another movie to follow up the beloved original. The Devil Wears Prada, based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel, was a massive hit in 2006, starring Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, the young journalist who gets caught up in Miranda's world.

Streep and Blunt are confirmed to be returning for the follow-up film, but no other cast members have been officially confirmed... yet. Stanley Tucci, who starred in the original movie, has also mentioned the forthcoming sequel, but refused to spill whether he'll be reprising his role. "I know they're working on it," he told thescholarlynote.com. "If it happens, I would be so happy, but I cannot give you any information. Otherwise, I'll go to the actor's prison or something!"

The original movie was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $206 million worldwide. With its relatable themes of ambition, identity, and the cutthroat world of fashion, it's no wonder fans are excited about the sequel.

But will Branagh bring his A-game to the role? We'll have to wait and see! In the meantime, get ready for a wild ride as we dish out all the juicy details on this scandalous sequel!
