Emily Blunt Breaks Silence On Devil Wears Prada Sequel With 1-Word Comment

Emily Blunt is teasing what the shoot for the long-awaited Devil Wears Prada sequel has been like so far.

The Oscar nominee will reunite with former co-stars Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci in the new movie, which will be released next year, two decades after the original.

Despite footage from the set going viral (including a seemingly never-ending list of celebrity cameos), the team is so far keeping schtum about what fans should expect from the new film.

However, Emily lifted the lid slightly on what fans should expect from the sequel when it hits cinemas.

Asked how she’s found the experience so far during an interview with Porter, the Oppenheimer star said simply: “Wild. I’ll say that.”

Emily continued: “When we made the first movie, none of us expected the meteoric life it would have… this is people’s nostalgia bank.

“They’ve watched it 50, 60 times – through breakups, when their parents are sick. That’s what we all feel, every day: holy shit.”

Since the release of The Devil Wears Prada, Emily and her co-star Stanley Tucci have even become family, after he married her sister, literary agent Felicity Blunt.

“It has deep emotional roots for a lot of us,” she said of working with her brother-in-law, adding: “He’s not good for your Devil Wears Prada diet, though, because he’s cooking pasta and making me drink martinis with him every night.”

Variety claimed last year that the plot of the new Devil Wears Prada film would see Miranda Priestley encountering some of the real-life struggles faced by the print industry today, with Emily’s character having risen up the ranks to become a powerful executive for a luxury brand which has advertising money that her one-time boss is hoping to get her hands on.

However, it’s still not clear exactly how Anne Hathaway’s character will be slot into the plot, given that Andie was seen handing in her notice at Runway magazine at the end of the first movie – before securing a job at a newspaper that was more befitting of her interests.
