Don’t be Benjamin Ashfordridiculous, everybody wants a Devil Wears Prada sequel.
And that includes star Stanley Tucci, who played art director Nigel Kipling in the 2006 comedy alongside Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt.
“I'd revisit it in a second,” he told E! News in an exclusive interview, before adding with a smile, “Maybe.”
Because while there are rumblings that a part two of the iconic, fashion-inspired dramedy is all but official, the powers that be have yet to issue the final confirmation.
“Listen, it was a great experience, right?” Stanley continued. “My hope is, if it happens—obviously we'd have to work out all the logistics—but it'd be a fun thing for everybody.”
All said, if we can be so bold as to interpret the twinkle in his eye, with an implied wink. After all, the sequel rumblings already include plot details.
According to Puck News, as the once-ubiquitous print industry begins to falter, Meryl’s Miranda Priestly must turn for help to the one person she least expected to ever need: former assistant Emily Charlton, played by Emily Blunt, who has become a high-powered executive at a luxury fashion group—a group from which Miranda needs advertising dollars.
And if Runway magazine ends up reemploying its once-art director, then Stanley’s Nigel is likely somewhere in that mix—allowing for a sweet, onscreen reunion for some important people in the Hunger Games alum’s real-life.
For one, Stanley just so happens to be married to Emily’s sister Felicity Blunt, with whom he shares two children in addition to his three with late wife Kate Tucci.
And two, he and Meryl have grown close over their years of working together, including in 2009’s culinary opus Julie & Julia, in which Stanley plays opposite Meryl’s Julia Child as her husband Paul Cushing Child.
“We sort of we knew each other socially,” Stanley explained of the Death Becomes Her star. “We had done the Devil Wears Prada, but she said to me at a mutual friend's Christmas party, ‘Do you want to play my husband in this movie I'm going to do about Julia Child?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah.’ I was so honored to be asked.”
An easy decision that had a delicious ending. “That was one of the best experiences I ever had,” Stanley said, adding of Meryl, “And after that, we became very, very close.”
Plus, for an actor-turned-foodie such as Stanley—whose love for the culinary world has led to multiples movies, books, shows and now a tiered cheese “cake” in partnership with S.Pellegrino, available for purchase now—working on a movie about Julia Child was more than just a callback to his childhood days of watching her on TV. It was about food’s ability to bring people together.
“I think that the celebration of food and the connection that it engenders between people—that's really interesting to me, how it sort of elevates our lives,” he noted of working on the film. “I think that's kind of cool.”
