Overview
- Anne Hathaway told fans at a Tokyo event on Monday that her first question after reading the script was whether Meryl Streep had read it, adding Streep “loved it.”
- 20th Century Studios released a new trailer that centers Streep and Hathaway with Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci back, as original director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna return for the May 1 theatrical-only release.
- Promotional material and trade reporting suggest the sequel touches on the magazine industry’s decline and a Miranda-centered scandal, with a Lady Gaga cameo still unconfirmed.
- Viewers flagged a trailer moment that appears to use a screenshot from the 2006 film as an in-universe meme of Miranda Priestly, a detail some fans called anachronistic.
- The 2006 original is drawing more viewing on Disney’s streaming platform as the sequel’s marketing builds, a feedback loop that can boost turnout when tickets go on sale for the cinema-only opening.
