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.

"Not something my character future entails": Pedro Pascal on Reed Richards reportedly leading Avengers in 'Doomsday'
The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards, is not the new leader of the Avengers, according to actor Pedro Pascal, who played one of the lead roles in the recently released ' First Steps'. The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards, is not the new leader of the Avengers, according to actor Pedro Pascal , who played one of the lead roles in the recently released 'Fantastic Four: First Steps'. According to an interview given by the 'Fantastic Four' director Matt Shakman to Variety earlier this month, which went viral for seemingly revealing that Pascal's superhero would be going on to lead the Avengers. It wasn't a far-fetched possibility for fans, as Pascal and his 'Fantastic Four' co-stars Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are all returning for next year's 'Avengers: Doomsday.' But Shakman's comment was a bit of a misdirection, according to Pascal. Speaking to the Associated Press, as quoted by Variety, the 'Last of Us' and 'Mandalorian' actor believes that Matt Shakman was referencing a comic book storyline in which Reed Richards was asked to take the leadership position in the Avengers. However, he believes that the director's words were misinterpreted by MCU fans. "It's big news to me, that's for one. I think Matt Shakman was doing an interview, and when he was speaking about Reed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo There is something that happens in the comics where he is sort of drawn in by the Avengers family and asked to be put into a leadership position. That is something that happens in the comics. It isn't necessarily something that my character's future entails," said Pascal as quoted by Variety. Pascal then stressed, "I am being honest in that. I am not even trying to avoid spoilers. It's a little bit of a mislead," as quoted by Variety. Shakman and Pascal have known each other for years and had the same talent manager at the beginning of their careers. Pascal told Variety that "coming together for 'Fantastic Four' felt absolutely fated in the stars." None of the four actors who played the Fantastic Four had traditional auditions for the movie. Instead, they were all cast after a meeting with Shakman. There were no chemistry tests either, although the group had three weeks of rehearsals before filming started, as reported by Variety. "We approached the story dramaturgically as you would a play, before we got on our feet with anything. It was Matt setting up the circumstances to be together as a cast and flesh out a language that bonded each of us together as a family," said Pedro Pascal, as quoted by Variety. 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' is now playing in theatres nationwide.
