Devil Wears Prada 2: Anne Hathaway Demands "Substantial Paycheck"

Anne Hathaway is reportedly on board for *Devil Wears Prada 2

– but only if the paycheck is big enough. According to an insider, Hathaway is demanding an eight-figure salary to reprise her role as Andy Sachs.

The source claims that Hathaway is "perfectly willing to play ball" to make the sequel a success, but she won't do it out of the goodness of her heart. She's prepared to negotiate over the next few months to ensure she's fairly compensated for her contribution.

The insider emphasizes that Hathaway sees the film as a "high standard" project, given its impact on her career. She's also acutely aware of her position as the only "true romantic comedy specialist" in the cast, which includes Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt.

The first *Devil Wears Prada

film, released in 2006, became a pop culture phenomenon. It earned Streep an Oscar nomination for Best Actress and cemented the film's place in cinematic history. The sequel is expected to revolve around Blunt's character, a high-powered executive for a luxury group.

Fans are eager to see how the sequel will measure up to the original. Rumors are swirling about potential cast additions, with *Game of Thrones

alum Sophie Turner expressing her interest in a role. She told *Elle* that she'd love to play a character similar to Blunt's in the first film, or even one of Miranda Priestly's minions.

While no official release date has been announced, the potential for a reunion of the original cast and a new story for Andy Sachs has fans excited. However, Hathaway's demand for a "substantial paycheck" may be a significant hurdle for Disney to overcome.
