Between Devil Wears Prada movies, Anne Hathaway became a kaiju
“The Devil Wears Prada 2” serves as a 20-year legacy sequel to the original 2006 fashion comedy, bringing back protagonist Andy Hathaway (Anne Hathaway) with an unusually optimistic framing for the genre. Rather than depicting her as unfulfilled, the film establishes that Andy has spent the intervening years working as a globe-trotting journalist, successfully pursuing story assignments across the world. The sequel acknowledges the modern media landscape’s challenges while positioning Andy as someone who navigated these turbulent years relatively successfully. The excerpt alludes to an interesting parallel with Hathaway’s 2017 science fiction film “Colossal,” suggesting thematic connections between the character arcs and potentially contrasting life trajectories the actress has portrayed.
