The Devil Wears Prada 2 Cast: Simone Ashley Lands Role After F1 Horror; Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet and More Join
The Devil Wears Prada 2 Cast Latest Update
Previously, it was announced that apart from the three leading ladies of the original The Devil Wears Prada, Stanley Tucci would be reprising his role as Nigel Kipling, the trusted confidante of Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly. As of the latest reports, Tracie Thoms, who played Lily, Andrea "Andy" Sachs' best friend and a major handbag lover, will also return to play her character. Another familiar face will be Tibor Feldman, who portrayed Irv Ravitz, the chairman of Runway's parent company, Elias-Clark.
DEADLINE reported that Simone Ashley will be starring in the film; however, not many details have been revealed about her mysterious role. This news comes as a welcome surprise to the fans of Picture This star, following her unexpected absence from F1: The Movie. The actress has been participating in promotions for the Brad Pitt-starrer film with dedication; however, her parts in the film were ruthlessly edited out, much to the shock of viewers.
Kenneth Branagh was previously confirmed to star as Miranda Priestly's husband, while Adrian Grenier, who played Nate Cooper originally, will not be returning for the sequel. It is known that the film is currently in production; however, further details of its progress have been kept under wraps. As the three fashionistas reunite once again, the excitement is through the roof for the fans of the 2006 release.
It is known that the follow-up will follow Miranda Priestly's life as reigning editor-in-chief, but her standing is not the same anymore as she faces the decline of traditional magazine publishing. She will stand against her once-assistant Emily Charlton, who has now moved to a lucrative role and holds the funds that she desperately needs at Runway.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 will premiere on May 1, 2026.

CBFC's Kryptonite: Superman may save the world, but smooching is off limits in India
James Gunn's Superman was set to soar high in Indian cinemas this month. Instead, audiences were left puzzled when the superhero's tender moments vanished mid-scene. India's Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) cut two kissing scenes, including a much-talked-about 33-second mid-air embrace, calling them 'overly sensual'. These edits were made so the film could get a UA (13+) rating before its 7 July certification. Many felt the cuts were unnecessary and reeked of double standards. Actor Shreya Dhanwanthary posted, 'If this is true, this is RIDICULOUS!!! Some ridiculous crap happens every day. Every. Damn. Day. Sure this is the least of our worries but is something done about anything else? There is some crap every day. Every. Damn. Day.' — jammypants4 (@jammypants4) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Lana Green Is Retiring - Her Final Jewelry Pieces Are 80% Off The Heritage Journal Read More Undo Digital creator Amol Jamwal joined in, writing on X, 'You can have lewd double meaning jokes in Housefull 5. Beheadings & gory violence in Jaat But…. Superman kissing Lois Lane is where we draw the line.' — shreyadhan13 (@shreyadhan13) — pranavgngadhrn (@pranavgngadhrn) Live Events — madmanweb (@madmanweb) Another user summed up the contradiction: 'CBFC would allow horrific scenes of violence and sexual assault in a U certified film that kids are freely allowed to watch, but won't allow consensual kissing in a U/A comic book movie that kids should watch under adult supervision.' Old tension, new flashpoint This isn't the first film to get snipped for 'morality'. Earlier this year, the Brad Pitt-led F1 movie saw a middle-finger emoji replaced with a harmless fist. Thunderbolts lost its swear words. Last year, the CBFC blocked The Apprentice, a Donald Trump biopic, after director Ali Abbasi refused to comply with cuts. Abbasi said, 'I ran away from Iranian censorship only to meet corporate censorship of the US. Now India. Really? Censorship seems to be an epidemic at the moment.' Santosh, an award-winning film on police violence and misogyny, faced the same fate when its director Sandhya Suri called the cut requests 'disappointing and heartbreaking'. Why it stings The anger is not just about Superman. Many see this as part of a bigger problem. While Hollywood kisses get the chop, Indian films with explicit violence, stalking and misogyny glide through with minimal fuss. Some Bollywood blockbusters like Animal, often slammed for glorifying toxic masculinity, have no trouble with censors. Controversial releases like The Kashmir Files and The Kerala Story, accused of distorting facts and stoking communal tensions, sailed through with political support. A lost right to appeal Much of this boils down to power with no oversight. The CBFC's guidelines promise freedom of expression but tag it with 'reasonable restrictions' for 'decency or morality'. The Film Certification Appellate Tribunal, which once gave filmmakers an industry-level appeal, was scrapped in 2021. What remains is a tedious and expensive court battle, out of reach for many local and foreign studios trying to hit global release dates. Indian cinema's awkward dance with on-screen kissing goes back decades. Until the 90s, kisses were mostly replaced by symbolic shots — flowers brushing, birds flying. The 1933 film Karma broke the mould with a four-minute kiss but little changed for years. Attitudes have softened in urban pockets but plenty of India still clings to older, conservative views, keeping the censor's scissors busy. While Superman's hopeful tone lives on, this debate is not going away. For now, fans in India will have to imagine what a 33-second mid-air kiss between Superman and Lois Lane might have looked like. Variety has reached out to the CBFC and Warner Bros. Discovery for comment but silence holds. The question left hanging is simple: where does India draw the line between free expression and forced restraint? Many in the industry want an answer.
