Hathaway is all set to reprise her iconic role of Andy (Andrea Sachs) after 20 years and she is joined by the power house Meryl Streep.

Interacting with fans on stage, Hathaway shared her thoughts on the film`s script and reuniting with Streep on the big screen after two decades.
Anne Hathaway`s reaction to The Devil Wears Prada 2
“My first thought was `Did Meryl read it yet? What did she think?` And then I heard yes, Meryl did read it and she loved it. Well this has to be amazing. And I read it and it was beyond what I hoped for. I think over the years we`ve all wondered what Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel were up to and I guarantee you, anything we thought of did not come close to what (writer) Aline Brosh McKenna has come up with for all of us. And it was a joy to make it,” Hathaway said. Watch the video below:
