Meryl Streep, during her appearance on 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,' reflected on the enduring popularity of 'The Devil Wears Prada,' released in 2006. Streep pointed out that the film was once categorized as a 'chick flick,' a label that has become outdated following the success of female-led films like 'Barbie' and 'Mamma Mia.' She emphasized that the original film struggled for budget, a situation that has changed with the current industry climate that now recognizes the commercial viability of women's stories. The sequel will see the return of the original cast, including Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt, with a release date set for May 1. The original film was a commercial success, grossing $326.7 million worldwide and earning Streep a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy.
