The Devil Wears Prada 2: Lucy Liu And Justin Theroux Join Meryl Streep Starrer
Lucy Liu and Justin Theroux have joined cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2 alongside returning stars Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci.
Lucy Liu and Justin Theroux have joined cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2. The actors have been added to the line-up of the sequel to the 2006 film alongside returning stars Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci while Variety reports B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet have also joined the project.
The original film – which is based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Lauren Weisberger – followed Anne Hathaway as an aspiring journalist who starts working for formidable Runway magazine boss Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). The sequel is believed to take up the story as Priestly deals with issues relating to the decline in magazine publishing and faces off with her former assistant Emily (Emily Blunt), who is now a high-powered executive at a luxury fashion group in control of much-needed advertising revenue that could save the publication.
The project is believed to have started filming – with location shoots planned for New York City and Italy – ahead of a planned 2026 release. David Frankel – who directed the 2006 film – is back on board for the sequel along with screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna. Kenneth Branagh was previously reported to have joined the cast, playing Priestly's husband.
Blunt previously suggested that filming would kick off this month and that there will be some 'beef" between her alter-ego and Streep's character. She told Entertainment Tonight: '[Streep and I are] so mean to each other in every movie [they] do. We always have beef with each other. I don't know what it is. Let's hope we remedy it. I'm not sure!"
However, the actress admitted she doesn't know what her character Emily is up to now as she remained coy about giving away any plot details. She said, 'I don't know. Where is [Emily]? I don't know Can you tell I'm skirting the issue? Can you tell I'm not telling you anything?"
Blunt also noted that she had no idea that she would ever return to the role that started her career almost 20 years ago. She added, 'No. Twenty years ago, in a blink, it's gone by."
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set for release on July 1 2026.

James Gunn's hilarious reaction to Trisha Paytas christening her son Aquaman — and what worries him about it!
Trisha Paytas knows how to make her kids stand out. James Gunn has a hilarious reaction (and some genuine concern) to Trisha Paytas naming her son Aquaman(Photos: Instagram, X) The internet celebrity has been making headlines for 3 years on the trot, owing to the truly unique names she has christened her kids with. Married to Israeli collaborative artist, designer and photographer Moses Hacmon, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, in September 2022 and rather ceremoniously named her Malibu Barbie Paytas-Hacmon. Yes, you read that right. Malibu's little sister came along in May 2024 and wowed the digital world with her very own head turning name, Elvis Paytas-Hacmon. Now if you think Trisha couldn't possibly top these two christenings with more creativity, on July 12, she welcomed her third child but first son, Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon. Now between the three, this one sure seems to take the cake. Now while the internet cracks puns about their homegrown theory — that of Trisha's womb being some sort of soul portal for the reincarnation of supremely relevant historical figures — director James Gunn for one, has a very real concern to share, albeit of course, hilariously. When asked by Entertainment Tonight, if he had heard about Trisha naming her son Aquaman, he immediately exclaimed, "I saw that yes. I think that's cool! I mean". He was quick to voice his concern too but, adding, "I hope he does okay in school I mean, I had a hard time with the last name Gunn like Tommy Gunn, BB gun, raygun, I'm like, 'ok, we get it' ", which elicited a laugh from everyone. James was also very invested in the kid having a nickname of sorts so that he wouldn't have to be referred to as Aquaman all the time: "Are they going to call him AQ, what are they going to call him? Won't he get made fun of in school? Do kids make fun of kids anymore?", he asked cluelessly. Frank Grillo however, whom James only recently directed in Superman, had more faith in the situation than James, asserting, "He's going to be fine. Especially if he lives up in New York where I grew up, he'll be fine". Well, we wish little Aquaman a lot of love!

DC Studios is bringing Peacemaker back for a second season. The superhero series starring John Cena will premiere on August 21 at 9 PM ET/PT on HBO Max, with new episodes releasing weekly. The official trailer for Peacemaker Season 2 was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con on July 26, where James Gunn and the cast, including Cena, were present. The new trailer opens with Ozzy Osbourne's Road to Nowhere and shows Peacemaker stepping into a portal leading to a parallel dimension. This move causes major interdimensional chaos and sets the tone for the upcoming season. Cast and new characters in Peacemaker Season 2 John Cena reprises his role as Christopher Smith, aka Peacemaker, first introduced in The Suicide Squad and later in Peacemaker Season 1. Returning cast members include: Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt Steve Agee as John Economos Freddie Stroma as Vigilante Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr. Sol Rodríguez as Sasha Bordeaux Tim Meadows in a supporting role At the trailer launch, Jennifer Holland revealed that she performs a Dirty Dancing lift in the opening credits scene, as reported by Variety. Here's how Peacemaker Season 2 connects to James Gunn's Superman James Gunn's Superman and Peacemaker Season 2 are both part of the new DC Universe. Peacemaker makes a brief post-credit appearance in Superman, mocking the Kryptonian on a talk show and saying he 'always knew something was off.' Rick Flag Sr., played by Frank Grillo, is now a US General and the Director of ARGUS, according to IGN. He was introduced in Creature Commandos and appears in both Superman and the Peacemaker trailer, where he's looking to avenge the death of his son, Rick Flag Jr. The Justice Gang, a team introduced in Superman and led by Maxwell Lord, also shows up in Peacemaker Season 2. According to ScreenRant, Peacemaker tries to join the team but gets rejected, showing his desire for redemption and acceptance. James Gunn revealed at SDCC 2025 that Peacemaker Season 2 will explore themes like forgiveness, relationships, and dealing with past trauma. Peacemaker is still haunted by the death of Rick Flag Jr. and the ghost of his father, Auggie, seen in Season 1. There may also be a romantic angle. Gunn hinted at a growing connection between Peacemaker and Harcourt, which started in Season 1. Sol Rodríguez's character Sasha Bordeaux adds new dynamics, though her link to Batman is still unclear.
