Meet the actor behind Emily’s ex-husband in The Devil Wears Prada 2, Wes McGee

Two decades after The Devil Wears Prada became a defining fashion film of the 2000s, the cult classic returns with a sequel featuring its star-studded cast – Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci.

Released on May 1 in the US, the sequel follows Streep’s iconic Miranda Priestly – the formidable editor-in-chief of Runway Magazine, widely believed to be inspired by Vogue’s Anna Wintour. Priestly is forced to reconnect with former assistant Andy Sachs (played by Anne Hathaway) to keep Runway afloat following a scandal.

The two women enlist the help of Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), Miranda’s other former assistant and Andy’s former colleague. After being left bitterly disappointed at the end of the first movie, Emily has climbed up the career ladder and now works as a Dior executive.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 also introduces several new faces – including actor Wes McGee, who plays Emily’s ex-husband, Frank. Here is what to know about the newcomer to the cast.
