It is no secret that The Devil Wears Prada was widely embraced by LGBTQ+ audiences when it came out in 2006. Now, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is ready for the premiere on May 1, and Hathaway is back to play Andy Sachs.
The sequel follows Sachs assisting Priestly during a major scandal at Runway Magazine. During an interview with Out Magazine, Hathaway acknowledged the love the community showed for the franchise, saying, “I had the queer community in my heart the entire time we were filming! I knew who I was doing it for… It doesn’t make any sense to me that the laws determining human freedom are not even applied across the spectrum. I’ll fight until it’s that way, but in my head and in my heart, I know that’s true.”
