Stanley Tucci had expressed his happiness at the possibility of the movie's sequel. "If it does happen, I can only say that I'll be happy. I've made many movies, I've probably made close to 100 movies, and I don't even know how many television episodes, but that experience was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had," he said to People.
According to EOnline, the sequel will revolve around Miranda, who is now having to deal with the decline of print journalism, and come up with a plan to save her magazine publishing business. The only person who can help in this scenario is her former assistant is Emily Charlton (played by Emily Blunt). Emily is now working as an executive at a luxury fashion group.
McKenna told Entertainment Weekly, 'Magazines and publishing have changed so much,' she said. 'This is a period of time where [Andy] took a physical book to someone's house every day so she could leaf through it. Maybe they still do that, but I doubt it. It had its moment!'
Disney has officially set a May 1, 2026, date for the release of its sequel, reported Variety.
The original film was based on author Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel about a young woman's nightmarish experience working at a fashion magazine.

James Gunn Says The Batman 2 is ‘Really Important' Amid Rumors of Robert Pattinson Starrer Being Axed, Can We See Script Shortly?
James Gunn has addressed the rumors around the upcoming Batman movie. Amid promoting Superman, the DC chief shared that The Batman II is an 'important' film in the trilogy, and the reports of the movie being axed are for fans. With Gunn's statements, fans know that Robert Pattinson will soon return as his iconic character, while Matt Reeves will take the director's chair. It is a long wait for the fans of the Batman franchise, as the second installment will release 5 years after the first film. Pattinson donned the superhero suit for the first time in the 2022 film, The Batman. James Gunn reflects on The Batman II While sitting down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly, James Gunn went on to share that the Batman trilogy is extremely important to him, as well as the franchise. Elaborating on the statement, the director said, 'What Matt's doing is still really important, despite all stories to the contrary.' He further added, 'We're supposed to see that script shortly, and I can't wait.' Previously, on the press tour of Mickey 17, Pattinson, too, expressed his excitement about getting back into the black suit. He said, 'I started out as young Batman and I'm going to be f*cking old Batman by the sequel. … I'm 38. I'm old.' In his conversation with Variety during the promotions of his last film, the Twilight star went on to mention that he was about to start filming the sequel to his 2022 movie by the end of 2025. 'And I know what it's about but I can't tell anyone. But it's very cool. It's very exciting.' James Gunn addresses delay in release of the Batman film Meanwhile, reflecting on the delay in the release of the new Batman film, Gunn stated on his social media, 'To be fair, a 5-year gap or more is fairly common in sequels. 7 years between 'Alien' and 'Aliens.' 14 years between 'Incredibles.' 7 years between the first two 'Terminators.' 13 years between 'Avatars.' 36 years between 'Top Guns.' And, of course, 6 years between 'Guardians Vol 2' and 'Vol 3.'' In a separate post, the DC head also went on to mention that Matt Reeves is dedicated to presenting the perfect film. 'Once there is a finished script, there is around two years for pre-production, shooting and post-production on big films,' added Gunn. As for Superman, the David Corenswet starrer will release in theaters on July 11.

Weinstein case judge declares mistrial on remaining rape charge as jury foreperson won't deliberate
NEW YORK — The judge in Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes case declared a mistrial on the remaining rape charge after the jury foreperson said he wouldn't continue deliberating. The decision to end deliberations Thursday came a day after the jury delivered a partial verdict. The foreperson complained Wednesday that he felt bullied by another juror and said Thursday he wouldn't go back into the jury room. The panel convicted the ex-studio boss of one of the top charges but acquitted him of another. Both of those charges concerned accusations of forcing oral sex on women in 2006. Those verdicts still stand. The jury got stuck on a third charge. It was a rape accusation dating to 2013. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. 's earlier story follows below. NEW YORK — After a partial verdict in a chaotic day at Harvey Weinstein 's sex crimes retrial, jurors are due Thursday to return to deliberations on a remaining charge — if the foreperson will join in. The jury delivered its partial verdict Wednesday, convicting the ex-studio boss of one of the top charges but acquitting him of another. Both charges concern accusations of forcing oral sex on women in 2006. The jury of seven women and five men unanimously reached those decisions last Friday, the foreperson later told the judge. The verdict was delivered Wednesday only because Judge Curtis Farber asked whether there was agreement on any of the charges. The group was stuck on the third charge: a rape accusation involving a woman who also said she had a consensual relationship with the Oscar-winning producer. Under New York law, the third-degree rape charge carries a lesser penalty than the other two counts. Weinstein denies all the charges. In an unusual exchange with the judge during some legal arguments before the partial verdict was disclosed Wednesday, he insisted it was unfair to continue the trial after two jurors came forward with concerns about the proceedings. 'I can't be judged by a situation that's going on like this,' said Weinstein, 73, saying the judge was 'endangering' him. Jury-room strains started leaking into public view Friday, when a juror asked to be excused because he felt another was being treated unfairly. Then Monday, the foreperson complained that other jurors were pushing people to change their minds and talking about information beyond the charges. The man raised concerns again Wednesday. In a closed-door discussion with prosecutors, defense lawyers and the judge, the foreperson said another juror was yelling at him for sticking to his opinion and at one point vowed, 'You going to see me outside.' 'I feel afraid inside there,' the foreperson told the judge and attorneys, according to a transcript. The judge sent the jury home for the day after the partial verdict, but the foreperson later asked to come back and recapped his concerns to Farber in court. The foreperson said he was willing to return Thursday, with Farber saying the man wouldn't be forced to go into the jury room if he didn't want to. It's unclear how deliberations could proceed if that happens, and it's equally uncertain what the court would then do. Weinstein's initial conviction five years ago seemed to cement the downfall of one of Hollywood's most powerful men in a pivotal moment for the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct. But that conviction was overturned last year, and the case was sent back for retrial in the same Manhattan courthouse. Weinstein's accusers said he exploited his Tinseltown influence to dangle career help, get them alone and then trap and force them into sexual encounters. His defense portrayed his accusers as Hollywood wannabes and hangers-on who willingly hooked up with him to court opportunity, then later said they were victimized to collect settlement funds and #MeToo approbation. Miriam Haley, the producer and production assistant whom Weinstein was convicted — twice, now — of sexually assaulting, said outside court Wednesday that the new verdict 'gives me hope.' Accuser Kaja Sokola also called it 'a big win for everyone,' even though Weinstein was acquitted of forcibly performing oral sex on her when she was a 19-year-old fashion model. Her allegation was added to the case after the retrial was ordered. The third accuser, Jessica Mann, was still waiting for an outcome. The hairstylist and actor testified for days — as she did in 2020 — about the rape she said she endured in a Manhattan hotel room and about why she continued to see and have consensual encounters with Weinstein afterward. 'Rape can happen in relationships — and in dynamics where power and manipulation control the narrative," Mann said in a statement Wednesday. Weinstein also was convicted of raping another woman in California. He's appealing that conviction. The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they have been sexually assaulted, unless they agree to be identified. Haley, Mann and Sokola did so.

Surviving Ohio State OTT Release Date: When and where to watch HBO's sexual abuse scandal documentary in India
Surviving Ohio State OTT Release Date: Directed by award-winning Australian filmmaker Eva Orner, who also won an Oscar for her work exposing abuse, the 108-minute feature peels back nearly two decades of horrific wrongdoing at Ohio State University between 1978 and 1998. Surviving Ohio State lands in India on JioHotstar on June 18, just a day after its U.S. debut on HBO and Max on June 17. More about Surviving Ohio State Surviving Ohio State's backbone is the investigative work of journalist Jon Wertheim, whose October 2020 Sports Illustrated piece laid bare 'Why Aren't More People Talking About the Ohio State Sex Abuse Scandal?'. That story exploded into public consciousness, and it's the jump‑off point for Orner's relentless search to understand how so many powerful people looked the other way. On screen, real survivors, largely male athletes, many former standouts in wrestling, share chilling memories: locker-room exams, secretive deflections, silence from coaches and administrators who 'just dealt with it.' We hear from men like Mark Coleman (later a UFC heavyweight champion), the DiSabato brothers, Will Knight, Al Novakowski, Rocky Ratliff, Dan Ritchie, Mike Schyck, Stephen Snyder‑Hill, and even a wrestling referee, Frederick Feeney. Their voices carry incredible weight because, as one survivor reflects on-screen: 'You walk into a room, and Doc tells you to turn the lights off... Who you gonna tell?'. Behind the scenes, Orner approached Surviving Ohio State with sensitivity: she spent months building trust, speaking with about 100 survivors before a core group felt ready to go public. She even screened the finished cut privately with them, complete with mental health support, to make sure they're seen with dignity, not sensationalised. The crew is also stacked: George Clooney, Grant Heslov, and David Glasser joined as producers for Smokehouse Pictures/HBO Sports, with cinematographer Nick Higgins and editor Charles Olivier shaping the story's flow; composer Cornel Wilczek provides the music.
