A follow-up? In response to “The Devil Wears Prada?” Groundbreaking.
Emily Blunt announced on Thursday that she would be willing to make a sequel to the 2006 picture alongside Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and the rest of the cast.
“I would do it in a heartbeat just to play with those guys again,” the actress, who played assistant Emily Charlton, said, calling the film’s fashion “fun.”
Blunt, 39, added that her character’s signature green eyeshadow was “horrifying” and “so bad” that it “has to get another outing.”
The Golden Globe winner’s approval came only one week after Hathaway, 39, rejected the notion on the same chat program.
“I don’t know if there can be [a sequel],” the Oscar winner, who played journalist Andrea “Andy” Sachs, said on Nov. 1. “I just think that movie was in a different era, you know?
“Now, everything’s gone so digital, and that movie centered around the concept of producing a physical thing,” she continued of Runway, the fictional magazine run by Streep’s character, Miranda Priestly. “It’s just very different now.”
It was, however, “tempting to think of Andy and Emily wanting to deliver Miranda her coffee, and she’s someplace in Europe, and then they pick up Stanley Tucci in Italy, who’s at a restaurant,” Hathaway said.
In terms of Blunt and her husband John Krasinski’s “Quiet Place” trilogy, the “Mary Poppins Returns” actor revealed on Thursday that “another one is in the works” starring Lupita Nyong’o.
“It’s a whole different world,” she explained to Whoopi Goldberg, joking that she spoke to Krasinski, 43, before the interview and “fact-checked” how much she could give away.
