Anne Hathaway has opened up about the first thoughts she had after she read the script of The Devil Wears Prada 2. Hathaway is all set to reprise her iconic role of Andy after 20 years and she is joined
by the powerhouse Meryl Streep. The film also brings back the OGs – Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. The duo was in Tokyo on Monday, April 6, for a grand fan event and spoke about The Devil Wears Prada 2. Interacting with fans on stage, Hathaway shared her thoughts on the film’s script and reuniting with Streep on the big screen after two decades.
“My first thought was ‘Did Meryl read it yet? What did she think?’ And then I heard yes, Meryl did read it and she loved it. Well this has to be amazing. And I read it and it was beyond what I hoped for. I think over the years we’ve all wondered what Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel were up to and I guarantee you, anything we thought of did not come close to what (writer) Aline Brosh McKenna has come up with for all of us. And it was a joy to make it,” Hathaway said. Watch the video below:

For Tokyo promotions, Streep and Hathaway brought their fashion A-game for the special evening, and we’ve fallen in love with them all over again. Streep wore a striking red ensemble, while Hathaway opted for a chic black-and-white off-shoulder dress. What made the event even more special was fans showing up dressed in iconic looks inspired by The Devil Wears Prada.
