Adrian Grenier Won't Return for ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2'
Adrian, of course, played Andy's whiny, chef boyfriend Nate Cooper, in The Devil Wears Prada. In the film, Nate acts as Andy's conscience, checking her when she gets in too deep at Runway magazine and loses herself in the fashion and the glamour. And while this behavior may have been charming in 2006, in the years since, Nate has emerged as enemy number 1. As a man who didn't support Andy when she had a very unreasonable job, he became the true villain of The Devil Wears Prada.
Needless to say, fans were not clamoring for his return, and now they don't have to worry. Two sources reportedly confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Adrian is not involved in The Devil Wears Prada 2 and will not be in the sequel. Anne Hathaway, who starred as Andy, is returning, though, so I guess Andy finally realized that it takes more than puppy dog eyes and a good grilled cheese to make a supportive partner.
Adrian has not commented on the sequel news—he's busy appearing on a Prime Video reality show called Crypto Knights. (Yes, it's real. No, I cannot tell you more.) But he has discussed the character's fall from grace before.
'It hadn't occurred to me until I started to really think about it,' Adrian told EW in a 2021 oral history when asked about the backlash to Nate's character. 'And perhaps it was because I was as immature as Nate was at the time, and in many ways he's very selfish and self-involved. It was all about him, he wasn't extending himself to support Andy in her career.'

Movie Review: In ‘Heads of State,' a buddy comedy with statesmen
Say what you will about the Idris Elba-John Cena vehicle 'Heads of State,' but it's surely the first buddy comedy about the fraying bonds of NATO. The potential collapse of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization plays a surprisingly pivotal role in this fitfully diverting, for-background-noise-only, straight-to-streaming movie. Elba plays the embattled British Prime Minister Sam Clarke, while Cena co-stars as the recently elected U.S. President Will Derringer, a former action star. 'Heads of State,' directed by Ilya Naishuller ('Nobody'), is mostly about their relationship, a tense and adversarial one challenged further when an assassination plot leaves them stranded together in Belarus. But that 'Heads of State,' which debuts Wednesday on Prime Video, is such a mild romp makes it all the more surprising to hear a line uttered like: 'If NATO falls, there's backstop against despots and dictators.'not It's a funny time to release a comedy set around international political disconnection and imperiled Western democracy. But if you were beginning to worry that 'Heads of State' is too timely, don't. Any nods to current events here serve more as reminders of how much 'Heads of State' — like most of Hollywood's output — is unengaged with anything resembling our political reality. You could argue that that's not necessarily a bad thing. You could also argue that the greater sin of 'Heads of State' is underusing Stephen Root. (He plays an expert working for the bad guys.) But the vaguest hints of real-world intrigue only cast a pale light on the movie's mostly lackluster comic chops and uninspired action sequences. The best thing going for 'Heads of State' is that the chemistry between Elba and Cena is solid. The 'Suicide Squad' co-stars trade barbs with a genial ease. Most of the time, those revolve around their characters' divergent histories — Clarke was a commando before becoming a politician — in debates like which one of them is 'gym strong' as opposed to 'strong strong.' That's one of the few decent gags in the script by Josh Applebaum, Andre Nemec and Harrison Query. But one problem in 'Heads of State' goes beyond the high-concept set-up. The best buddy comedies — 'Midnight Run,' '48 Hrs.,' 'The Nice Guys' — are predicated on opposites thrown together. Elba and Cena have their obvious differences. (Cena's Derringer is exaggeratedly optimistic here, too.) But ultimately they're both beefy dudes in suits. As the MI6 agent Noel Bisset, Priyanka Chopra Jones gives the movie a kick. But her scenes are left to the beginning and end of the movie. In between, we're left to wonder where she went, how two political leaders would have such non-existent security and whether a few half-decent jokes are enough to forgive the movie's geopolitical delusions. 'Heads of State,' an Amazon MGM Studios release is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association for sequences of strong violence/action, language and some smoking. Running time: 113 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

Priyanka Chopra's Third-Wheel Moment With John Cena & Idris Elba
Idris Elba, John Cena and Priyanka Chopra have teamed up for a silly action flick with a side of romance — or Give the trailer a watch: Heads Of State follows US President Will Derringer (played by John) and UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris) after a covert operation goes sideways. The result? Their private Air Force One plane goes down in a hijacking before a critical NATO summit. Despite their hatred for one another, the pair must work together to keep the world's alliances intact. Alongside them is Priyanka's undercover agent character, Noel Bisset. And honestly, she's a certified UNIT. The film is the perfect Friday/weekend night watch (with some takeaway ordered and a bathrobe on). If you love dry jokes, unlikely friendships and "stylistic" fight sequences that'll either make you giggle or make you say "Woah" — add this to your list. There's plenty of chemistry between all three stars and it might make you wonder whose really falling for whom. Don't worry just strap in and keep an open mind. It's seriously just a bit of fun. Ahead of its drop on Prime Video, the trio let BuzzFeed Australia into some action star secrets, what they learned from each other and who was the third wheel on set. Here's what Priyanka, Idris and John had to say about Heads of State. BFOZ: Heads of State was a mix of action and silliness. So, we need to know — who was the biggest goofball on set and who was most likely to mess up a take? BFOZ: Priyanka — John and Idris share what feels like an enemies-to-lovers type of bromance in the film — did you ever feel like a third wheel working with these two unlikely best friends? Idris: That's really kind but, the truth is when Priyanka walked on became the sidemen. We did. John: [Idris and I] had weeks to warm up, we were shooting with each other for weeks, we had a camera dynamic. We got each other's social profile. [Priyanka] walks on in one day and it's like — alright this is a power trio. BFOZ: And finally, you've all had your fair share of action roles, but was there anything that you learnt from each other about playing big, cool action stars? Priyanka: We were thrown a lot of things and retakes many, many times but working with pros is so amazing because everyone knows their job and how to do it safely and do it well. So you're never nervous when you're doing action, that someone's going to get hurt. I never felt that on set and that only comes from that kind of experience. John: A lot of the action in this movie is stylistic, but it's also action comedy. You get notes on how to do the action and I love watching professionals adjust to feedback and not be able to just fight but because it is action comedy, there had to be a lot of emotion with the action. Watching [Priyanka and Idris] take notes and apply feedback were notes and there was a lot of feedback, seeing the choices they make when given the direction — sometimes an ambiguous direction — is interesting. You can watch this power trio in Prime Video's new movie Heads of State — streaming from 5PM AEST on July 2. Need more TV show, movie, anime, and gaming recommendations?

Starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, Rebirth will revisit the old research facility island for the original Jurassic Park, with the trio on a mission to collect dino DNA. While it's a brand new moment in the franchise, there will likely be lots of references to both the original Jurassic Park trilogy and the Jurassic World trilogy. Need a refresher on the franchise?
