Even before the release of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' excitement is building for a potential third film. The cast of the upcoming sequel has been openly discussing what a threequel might look like, sparking conversations much earlier than anticipated.
New Cast Shares Their Hopes for a Third Film
Simone Ashley, Caleb Hearon, and Helen J. Shen, who play Amari, Charlie, and Jin Chao respectively, spoke about a possible third installment while promoting the sequel. The trio shared personal hopes for their characters and the direction the story could take. Their off-screen chemistry has already generated enthusiasm among fans for a potential return.
Hearon's Playful Comment on the Wait
In an interview with ScreenRant, Caleb Hearon jokingly warned fans that they might have to wait until "2046," referencing the nearly 20-year gap between the original film and its sequel. Simone Ashley quickly dismissed that idea, saying, "It's not going to take 20 years! It's not." The lighthearted exchange still left the timeline for a third film wide open.
Hearon also pitched an exciting direction for Part 3, suggesting that the new trio could run Runway magazine together. "I hope we run Runway or something together. It'd be fun," he said. This bold idea would represent a major power shift in the 'The Devil Wears Prada' universe.
Amari's Potential Rise to Leadership
Helen J. Shen expressed support for Simone Ashley's character, Amari, taking on a leadership role in any future story. Simone Ashley herself described that path as "inevitable," indicating that the character's arc is already heading upward. An Amari-led Runway could provide the fresh perspective that 'The Devil Wears Prada 3' needs.
The Heart of the Threequel
Beyond plot ideas, Helen J. Shen said her biggest wish is simply to reunite with her castmates on set. She described filming the sequel as "such a great time" and said she would return regardless of where the story goes. This genuine bond among the newer stars could be a key factor in getting 'The Devil Wears Prada 3' greenlit.
