The sequel to The Devil Wears Prada 2 is now in theaters, bringing back the original main cast and a long list of celebrity cameos. According to reports from sources like Variety and Entertainment Weekly, not everything filmed for the movie made it into the final cut. Several actors were removed during editing for different creative reasons.<\/p>\n
The film sees the return of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, who all reprise their roles nearly 20 years after the original movie. Alongside them, many real-life celebrities appear as themselves in short cameo roles.<\/p>\n
One of the most discussed removals is actor Conrad Ricamora. He was originally set to play Andy\u2019s roommate in the sequel. Ricamora later shared on Instagram that filming the movie was a positive experience, but his role did not stay in the final version.<\/p>\n
He wrote, \u201cGetting to work with the icon Anne Hathaway, the genius Aline Brosh McKenna, all the while being directed by the steady hand of David Frankel will forever be on the highlight reel of my life. However, in the end, my character didn\u2019t make sense in the grand scheme of the film (something about me being too sexy and hott and my muscles being too big\u2026story of my life).\u201d<\/p>\n
Reports from Variety explain that test audiences questioned why Andy needed a roommate in the story. Because of that feedback, the filmmakers changed the plot. Instead of using Ricamora\u2019s character, the film shifts Andy\u2019s personal storyline toward her connection with her old friend Lily, played by Tracie Thoms.<\/p>\n
Another cut cameo came from Sydney Sweeney. She was spotted filming a brief scene where she appeared as herself, being styled by Emily Blunt\u2019s character. According to Entertainment Weekly, the scene was removed in editing because it did not fit smoothly into the final structure of the film, even though the team appreciated her involvement.<\/p>\n
