The highly anticipated sequel to the 2006 hit film, The Devil Wears Prada, has unveiled its first full-length trailer, sending fans into a frenzy. The promo showcases the return of Meryl Streep as the formidable Miranda Priestly, alongside Stanley Tucci reprising his role as Nigel, her right-hand man.
Iconic Reunions and New Faces
In the trailer, viewers are treated to scenes of Priestly reuniting with Anne Hathaway's Andy and Emily Blunt's Emily, though Priestly appears as dismissive as ever, barely acknowledging them. Her trademark habit of calling all assistants "Emily" persists, a testament to her withering alpha-editor persona rather than any lapse in memory.
Record-Breaking Trailer Views
The new trailer has already made a significant impact online, clocking up 2.8 million views on YouTube within just nine hours of its release. This follows the success of the teaser trailer in November, which reportedly became the most-viewed comedy trailer in 15 years, amassing 181.5 million views in its first 24 hours.
Expanded Cast and Release Details
Joining the original stars are several notable additions to the cast, including Kenneth Branagh as Priestly's new boyfriend, along with Sydney Sweeney, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, BJ Novak, and Pauline Chalamet. In a special cameo appearance, Lady Gaga will also feature in the film.
The sequel, directed by David Frankel, is set for release in Australia on 30 April, with the UK and US following on 1 May. Fans are eagerly awaiting the return to the cutthroat world of high fashion, promising more sharp wit and dramatic flair.
