Between Devil Wears Prada movies, Anne Hathaway became a kaiju

In The Devil Wears Prada 2, the 20-year-anniversary sequel to 2006’s hit fashion-world comedy, once-hapless protagonist Andy (Anne Hathaway) mentions that she’s spent much of the time since the first movie away from New York City, traveling the world as a journalist on assignment, “chasing stories.” That’s an unusually cheerful starting place for a legacy sequel, a form that often demands beloved characters start out unfulfilled or disappointed with their lives.
