Hathaway, known for her role as one of Priestly’s assistants, expressed skepticism in a statement to E! News in March about the possibility of “continuing that story.”
Emily Blunt starred as the other assistant to Priestly in the original film, set in the New York offices of a fictional luxury fashion magazine.
Stanley Tucci also played Priestly’s dedicated deputy in the film.
The original film was adapted from the book of the same title by Lauren Weisberger, a former assistant to Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour.
Streep received critical acclaim, including a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination, for her portrayal of the formidable editor, while the movie marked a breakthrough for both Hathaway and Blunt.
