Everyone stop what you’re doing. 20th Century Fox has officially announced thatThe Devil Wears Prada 2is officially in production. Not only that, but it’s officially confirmed the return ofAnne Hathaway. Alongside the returning cast members ofMeryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci,and Hathaway,Deadline reportsthatKenneth Branaghis joining the cast. Branagh will play the husband of Streep’s Miranda Priestly. We already know that the film will feature Miranda as her career takes a downward turn in the modern-age of social media and fashion as it stands.
The film will releaseMay 1, 2026, making for just 10 months of a turnaround for the sequel to the 2006 instant classic. The film’s original director,David Frankel,as well as the film’s original producer,Wendy Finerman,as well as writerAline Brosh McKenna,are all returning to the sequel, which finds Blunt’s Emily at the top of her marketing game, having sought greener pastures after the events of the first film. For the longest time, plans for the sequel were kept tightly under-wraps, with returning star Stanley Tucci even telling Collider’s Steve Weintraub back in March when asked, “I cannot answer that question on the grounds that it will incriminate so many people.”
Miranda Priestly Is So Powerful, She Snagged a Date from The Avengers
If July 09, 2025 sounds like a familiar date, that’s because it was the release date forAvengers: Doomsday. Disney announced back in May thatThe Devil Wears Prada 2would snag that spot from the upcomingRusso BrothersMCU film andAvengers: Doomsday(which has already begun filming as well) would move to August 04, 2025. The shift caused a cascade effect for the other upcoming Avengers film,Avengers: Secret Wars. That moved from July 09, 2025 to June 04, 2025.
Does this technically make Miranda Priestly more powerful than the Avengers?That’s up for fans to decide. Technically, according to insiders, the decision to bumpAvengersfrom May to December came from the Russo Brothers needing “more time.” The film is the first Marvel movie they’ve directed sinceAvengers: Endgameand has a lofty cast includingRobert Downey Jr.coming back to the MCU as Doctor Doom, which wasannounced at last year’s San Diego Comic Con.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 has officially begun production. The movie will release July 17, 2025. Stay with Collider for the latest updates.
