Speaking with Variety, Stanley Tucci, who stars as Nigel in the original film, opened up on the sequel.  “I know they’re working on it. If it happens, I would be so happy, but I cannot give you any information. Otherwise, I’ll go to the actor’s prison or something. [The original] was one of the best experiences ever.”

Meanwhile, last year, Disney officially announced ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2.’ Aline Brosh McKenna, the original film’s writer, is reportedly returning to pen the new chapter. However, the original cast reprising their roles remains unconfirmed. This has left fans hopeful for the return of the beloved trio who played such a pivotal role in the original.

The 2006 title resonated with cinephiles across the globe. With Madonna’s ‘Vogue’ playing in the background as stilettoes clutter and the cast serves iconic looks. Apart from being a celebration of fashion, the film hinges upon ambition, family, and the sacrifices it takes to make it big in the corporate world.

Moreover, the 2006 film is an adaptation of Lauren Weisberger’s novel ‘The Devil Wears Prada.’ It is a directorial of David Frankel and produced by Wendy Finerman.
