Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ The Devil Wears Prada 2 <\/em>stars and director tell Entertainment Weekly<\/em> if they’d return for a third film.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n “I hope they don’t wait 20 years,” Meryl Streep jokes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n “If they exhume us,” Stanley Tucci adds of a potential Devil Wears Prada 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The flames of fashion have barely cooled on The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em><\/a>‘s theatrical bow, but the sequel’s cast and crew are already looking forward to a potential third film in the series.<\/p>\n When Entertainment Weekly<\/em> asks returning stars Meryl Streep<\/a>, Anne Hathaway<\/a>, Stanley Tucci<\/a>, Emily Blunt<\/a>, and director David Frankel if there will be a Devil Wears Prada 3<\/em>, they remain optimistic.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope they don\u2019t wait 20 years!” Streep, 76, jokes to EW of the time between the original 2006 film and its successor \u2014 a sentiment that Tucci echoes in a separate interview.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think we can do it in another 20 years. We have to do it sooner than that, because I\u2019ll be dead,\u201d he jokes, adding that a third film would be possible “if they exhume us” from the grave.<\/p>\n Emily Blunt returns in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ \u201cWe believe in letting a lot of time sizzle between these movies,\u201d Blunt says, though Tucci adds that a third film “could be fun” \u2014 but, as Blunt puts it, she and Tucci have “more to do together” in a third film, as their characters were largely separated from each other in the sequel.<\/p>\n Blunt observes, “We love what we got to do, but we didn\u2019t get enough to do together,” and that the costars (who are also related through marriage, as Tucci wed Blunt’s sister, Felicity, in 2012) wanted “a little more to chew on together” in the second film.<\/p>\n Hathaway suggests that The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em>‘s box office success will determine whether or not they return for another installment.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope so, I feel like there\u2019s more road to explore,” she says. “But, we\u2019ll probably have a better idea of that [when the film comes out].”<\/p>\n Frankel, who helmed the 2006 film to global grosses of $327 million and two Oscar nominations (one for Streep, one for Patricia Field’s costume design), says “there’s a life for the characters beyond this story” in the sequel.<\/p>\n “Let’s see what happens. It\u2019s show business. It\u2019s anybody\u2019s guess. We said no 20 years ago, and here we are,” Frankel admits. “I don\u2019t want to say yes now. They are very rich characters, they\u2019re amazing actors, there’s great screenwriting, so I could imagine that these characters might live on.”<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with\u00a0our\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>EW Dispatch newsletter<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
