Will The Devil Wears Prada 3 Happen? Director David Frankel Reacts To The Buzz

After almost 20 years, The Devil Wears Prada 2 brought back Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci together again, and fans have clearly been enjoying the reunion. The sequel was released earlier this month and has already been doing well at the box office. Now, many people are wondering if the franchise could continue with a third film as well.

Director David Frankel recently reacted to these conversations during an interview with Variety. Interestingly, he shared that he never thought he would even return for a sequel in the first place.

Talking about the possibility of another film, David said he would not rule it out anymore. He mentioned that if there was a chance to revisit these characters and work with the cast again, he would be open to it.

The ending of The Devil Wears Prada 2 has also made fans feel that the story could continue further. The film shows Miranda, Andy and Nigel trying to secure the future of Runway Magazine, while Emily moves into a different role in the fashion world.

Apart from the original cast, the sequel also introduced new actors into the franchise. David spoke about enjoying the mix of old and new characters in the film and mentioned actors like Justin Theroux, B. J. Novak, Simone Ashley and Helen J Shen while talking about the newer additions.

He also shared something Anne Hathaway had said during discussions around the sequel. According to him, Anne compared the reunion to a band coming back together with new songs while also giving the audience the older songs they already loved.

The response to The Devil Wears Prada 2 has been strong globally. Reports suggest the film crossed the $200 million mark during its opening weekend. The sequel has also increased interest in the original 2006 film again, with streaming numbers reportedly seeing a major jump over the past few weeks.
