Devil Wears Prada 2 Trailer Editing Error Sparks Fan Concern Over Sequel Quality
The highly anticipated trailer for Devil Wears Prada 2 has been released ahead of the sequel's premiere next month, but an out-of-place detail appears to have slipped through the editors' cracks, leaving some fans nervous about the film's overall quality.
Eagle-Eyed Fan Spots Trailer Mistake
An observant fan pointed out that in the final teaser trailer, released on Tuesday, an onlooker seems to have crashed an iconic shot of Anne Hathaway in character as journalist Andrea Sachs strolling at a crosswalk. Specifically, a woman is seen hanging out of a taxi window behind Hathaway, recording the A-lister with her phone.
"This girl having her phone just wide out the window in the trailer is frying me," one person wrote on X alongside a screengrab of the error. The mistake has sparked a wave of discussion online, with some fans expressing concern that such an editing oversight might indicate broader issues with the sequel's production values.
Mixed Fan Reactions and Canon Theories
However, not all viewers were critical. Some fans offered more forgiving interpretations, suggesting the flub could potentially fall within the canon of the new sequel. One person argued on X, "Because that's Andy Sachs. A million girls would kill for that job!" Another agreed, noting, "but that's very tourist in NYC core." A user even joked that the scene-crasher might have been cast in the "role of paparazzi," adding a layer of humor to the debate.
Previous Quality Concerns and Plot Details
This is not the first time concerns about the movie's quality have been raised. The trailer also features a shot that appeared to show an internet meme of Meryl Streep's character Miranda Priestly from the first film, which would not logically exist within the movie's cinematic universe, further fueling skepticism among fans.
The plot of the New York City-based sequel remains largely under wraps, but it is confirmed that Hathaway's character will once again meet the formidable magazine editor Miranda Priestly, played by Streep and based on former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Cast Updates and Notable Absences
In addition to Hathaway and Streep, actors Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt are resuming their roles from the original 2006 film, which became a cult classic. Newcomers to the franchise include Kenneth Branagh, Lucy Liu, and Bridgerton star Simone Ashley.
Lady Gaga was spotted on set, suggesting a secret cameo, and Jenna Bush Hager's co-anchor Craig Melvin accidentally revealed on live television that she would appear. Amid the excitement for returning and new characters, Adrian Grenier—who played Andy Sachs' long-term boyfriend in the original—was notably snubbed from the reboot. The actor theorized this was due to widespread dislike of his character.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, with fans eagerly awaiting to see if these trailer mishaps translate to the final cut or are merely minor oversights in an otherwise polished sequel.
