Fans of the beloved 2006 fashion-centric comedy The Devil Wears Prada are in for a treat, as rumours swirl that Meryl Streep may return to the silver screen as the formidable Miranda Priestly in a highly anticipated sequel.
According to insider reports, Disney is actively developing a follow-up to the cult classic, with Streep in discussions to reprise her Oscar-nominated role. The original film, based on Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel, became a cultural phenomenon, grossing over $326 million worldwide.
A Fashionable Return
While plot details remain tightly under wraps, industry insiders suggest the sequel will explore Miranda's evolving empire in the digital age of fashion journalism. The original cast, including Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs and Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, may also make appearances.
Fan Reactions Skyrocket
Social media erupted with excitement following the news, with fans expressing their delight at the prospect of seeing Streep's iconic performance once more. One Twitter user wrote: "Miranda Priestly walking into a room still lives rent-free in my mind. A sequel? I'm already preparing my winter wardrobe!"
Others have speculated how the story might address the changing landscape of the fashion industry, particularly the decline of print media and rise of influencers – themes that could provide rich material for Miranda's signature withering remarks.
Awards Buzz Already Building
Should the project move forward, awards pundits predict another potential Oscar nomination for Streep, who received widespread acclaim for her original portrayal of the Runway magazine editor-in-chief. The role earned her a Golden Globe and remains one of her most memorable performances.
No official release date has been announced, but sources indicate filming could begin as early as next year. Fashion enthusiasts and film fans alike will be watching closely for further developments in this hotly anticipated project.
