The sequel brings back orignial cast members. Emily Blunt returns as Emily Charlton, now a major executive in the fashion world. Stanley Tucci reprises his role as Nigel Kipling, according to Deadline. Their return has fans speculating about the storyline and the fashion evolution.
One user on X wrote, “#DevilWearsPrada is one of the only movies I can recite dozens of lines from. I don’t know how to take this news, but if a sequel/offshoot/whatever you want to call it does end up happening, please make sure it doesn’t dilute the original’s impact.”
