The first full-length trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 has been released, and given more details on David Frankel’s hotly anticipated follow-up. In the promo, Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly and her right-hand man Nigel, played by Stanley Tucci, are seen reuniting with Anne Hathaway’s Andy and, later, Emily Blunt’s Emily.
Priestly remembers neither, nor even her habit of referring to all her fashion magazine assistants as Emily – presumably on account of her withering alpha-editor status rather than, say, dementia.
The film’s teaser trailer, which was released in November, was reportedly the most-viewed comedy trailer in 15 years, with 181.5m views on YouTube in its first 24 hours. The new full-length trailer hit 2.8m views on YouTube in its first nine hours.
The sequel to the 2006 hit will be released in Australia on 30 April, and the UK and US on 1 May. Joining the cast are Kenneth Branagh, as Priestly’s new boyfriend, as well as Sydney Sweeney, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, BJ Novak and Pauline Chalamet. Lady Gaga will make a cameo appearance.
