After winning the 52nd Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for 〈Kramer vs. Kramer〉, she went on to capture the Best Actress award in 1983 for 〈Sophie's Choice〉 and in 2012 for 〈The Iron Lady〉, solidifying her status as a three-time Academy Award winner. Beyond 〈The Devil Wears Prada〉, she has consistently proved her unmistakable presence across countless works, including the 〈Mamma Mia!〉 series, 〈The Giver〉, 〈Into the Woods〉, and 〈Woman in Hollywood〉, building a record of 21 nominations—the most in Academy Awards history—and firmly maintaining her place at the very top of Hollywood.

〈The Devil Wears Prada 2〉 reunites 'Miranda,' the legendary editor of the fashion magazine 'Runway,' and 'Andy,' returning as an editorial planner after 20 years, as they join forces with 'Emily,' an executive at a luxury fashion brand. The story follows as they throw everything they have into a fierce race to reclaim leadership in the fashion world once again, amid a media landscape that has been transformed. Through 'Miranda'—who finds herself in crisis in a digital-age environment reshaped by technology—Meryl Streep is set to deliver plenty of laughs along with a message audiences will recognize. After the original film, director David Frankel—returning to helm this installment—said, "A sequel without Meryl Streep wasn't even something to consider," adding, "She is the heart of this film." He also shared his unwavering confidence in the actress. Screenwriter Elin Brosh McKenna praised her as well, saying, "Meryl is an incredible collaborator who brings razor-sharp questions and thoughtful ideas."

Meryl Streep described 'Miranda,' the character who has guarded the 'Runway' magazine for 20 years, saying, "She's still clever, and she's the kind of person who runs herself and her team with flawless control." She explained that Miranda is an ambitious character driven by a passion for her work that never changes. She added, "In her own world, her position has become even more precarious—and she knows that herself," raising even more curiosity about the intense struggle that will unfold in this installment. She also said, "Watching this movie together in theaters will definitely be a fun experience for everyone," further building anticipation. 〈The Devil Wears Prada 2〉 will have its world premiere on Wednesday, April 29.
