Kenneth Branagh will play icy media mogul Miranda Priestly’s (Streep) husband, per Deadline. Meanwhile, Adrian Grenier, who starred in the first film as Nate Cooper, is not expected to return for the sequel.
While plot details remain under wraps, 20th Century Studios announced on June 30 that production on The Devil Wears Prada 2 has already begun.
The 2006 movie was adapted from former Vogue assistant Lauren Weisberger’s book of the same name. Weisberger worked for the former Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, who recently stepped down from her position at the magazine after 37 years.
The film sees recent college graduate Andy (Hathaway) thrust into the high-intensity world of fashion and global media, as she juggles her humble past with her bright future working as an assistant to the cold and particular Miranda Priestly.
