Devil Wears Prada 2 Sets May 1 Release as Director Explains Dropped Grenier Cameo

Strong tracking meets headwinds from a last‑minute finish, including a teaser backlash.

Overview

  • Director David Frankel, in an interview published Saturday, said he tried to include Adrian Grenier as Nate in a surprise cameo but the production wrapped too close to release to make it happen.
  • The sequel opens May 1 in theaters and reunites Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci in their signature roles.
  • A newly shared teaser drew online criticism on X over perceived Asian stereotyping tied to Andy’s new assistant Jin Chao, with users objecting to the character’s name and a boastful introduction.
  • Box Office Pro tracking cited in coverage projects a domestic opening of about $90 million to $100 million, signaling strong interest for the nostalgia‑driven follow‑up.
  • The story revisits Runway magazine’s fight to stay relevant in the digital era, with Andy and Miranda seeking crucial ad support from former assistant Emily Charlton, now a powerful luxury‑brand executive.
