The new movie The Devil Wears Prada 2 only just arrived in theaters, but there is already chatter about a possible third movie.
It took 20 years for the sequel to be made, but the cast has already acknowledged that it won’t be possible to wait another 20 years to make a third movie.
For context, Meryl Streep is about to turn 77 and Stanley Tucci is currently 65. That would make them 97 and 85 in a third installment!
So, what are the cast members saying about a potential additional movie?
Meryl told EW, “I hope they don’t wait 20 years!”
Stanley told the outlet, “I don’t think we can do it in another 20 years. We have to do it sooner than that, because I’ll be dead.” He joked that a third movie in 20 years will only be possible “if they exhume us” from a graveyard.
Emily Blunt said, “We believe in letting a lot of time sizzle between these movies.” She wants to have more scenes with her real-life brother-in-law Stanley though, as they didn’t in the second movie. “We love what we got to do, but we didn’t get enough to do together,” she said.
Anne Hathaway is putting a realistic outlook on a third movie, saying that we have to wait for the box office results to see if Disney will greenlight another film. Based on the opening day numbers, it looks like the movie is going to be a big hit.
“I hope so, I feel like there’s more road to explore. But, we’ll probably have a better idea of that [when the film comes out],” she told Entertainment Weekly.
David Frankel, the returning director, also thinks we need to wait and see. He told EW, “Let’s see what happens. It’s show business. It’s anybody’s guess. We said no 20 years ago, and here we are. I don’t want to say yes now. They are very rich characters, they’re amazing actors, there’s great screenwriting, so I could imagine that these characters might live on.”
