Will Gisele Bündchen return for ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’? Agent sends sad emoji

In the words of Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly, details of a cryptic emoji response to an inquiry about Gisele Bündchen’s potential involvement in The Devil Wears Prada 2 apparently do not interest some of the supermodel’s team.

Amid news that stars Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci will reprise their roles in the Devil Wears Prada sequel, alongside returning director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna, Entertainment Weekly reached out to ask if Bündchen was also set to return as Serena, a Runway magazine employee who works alongside ruthless fashion editor Miranda’s publishing team.

When reached for comment, one of the the model and actress’ agents reacted with just a sad, crying emoji.

Bündchen’s agent initially did not respond to EW’s multiple requests for clarification on what the emoji meant, until finally replying, “I’m not in a position to comment on that matter at this time.”

EW has reached out to representatives for Disney — parent company of Devil Wears Prada 2 distributor 20th Century Studios — for comment on her involvement.

Though the main cast will reprise their roles in the sequel, EW exclusively confirmed that Entourage star Adrian Grenier, who portrayed Andy Sachs’ (Hathaway) boyfriend, Nate, would not return for the sequel, which begins shooting later this month.

Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet were recently reported to be added to the sequel’s cast, after Kenneth Branagh was previously announced in the role of Miranda’s latest husband.

Plot details for the project are still under wraps, though Frankel and McKenna told EW in a 2021 oral history that a sequel would take some molding to get right.

“Magazines and publishing have changed so much. This is a period of time where [Andy] took a physical book to someone’s house every day so she could leaf through it. Maybe they still do that, but I doubt it. It had its moment,” McKenna said at the time, while Frankel revealed that there were light discussions about a potential sequel upon the original film’s release in 2006.

“[The studio] didn’t ask for [a sequel]. We had a meeting where we said, ‘What could we do if there was a sequel?'” he said. “Maybe it was stupid; we felt like, No, this story has been told.… Lauren eventually wrote another book following up 15 years later. We came to the same conclusion, that just following the characters wouldn’t be the same.”

Following its release, the original Devil Wears Prada grossed $124 million domestically and earned two Oscar nominations for Streep and the film’s costume design.

The initial story was adapted from former Vogue employee Lauren Weisberger’s novel of the same name, which drew inspiration from her time working under that magazine’s leader, Anna Wintour.

Bündchen, a renowned supermodel, also told EW as part of the 2021 oral history that the film got some specific things right in its interpretation of the world of fashion.

“[Anna]’s definitely a more reserved person. That was my impression, but she was always very nice to me. She was supportive of my career,” Bündchen said of Wintour, later adding, “I think people knew there was going to be a movie made about Anna, but I don’t think people knew exactly how the movie was going to be, unless they actually had the script. It depends on how the director wants to take it, which parts of the book and character they want to focus on. It was definitely something people were talking about, people were curious about it…. everybody loved the movie. I think she loved the movie. I mean, I’d be happy if Meryl Streep played me!”
