Adrian Grenier Won't Be Returning for ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’
The highly anticipated sequel to the beloved 2006 film ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ has been the subject of much speculation and excitement. However, fans of the original may be disappointed to learn that one key character will not be making a comeback - Adrian Grenier’s Nate.
The Role of Nate in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’
In the first film, Grenier’s character Nate was the long-term boyfriend of protagonist Andy Sachs (played by Anne Hathaway). As a chef, he struggled to understand Andy’s demanding job at Runway magazine, and their relationship ultimately fell apart. Despite their differences, Nate’s character provided a much-needed touch of reality and groundedness to the otherwise glamorous and cutthroat world of fashion.
The Decision not to Bring Nate Back
In the past, Grenier has expressed his reluctance to reprise his role as Nate, stating that he did not want to be typecast as the “token boyfriend” in romantic comedies. Additionally, the actor has moved on to other projects and is focusing on his environmental advocacy work. While fans may be disappointed, it is ultimately Grenier’s decision and it is understandable that he wants to explore different roles and challenges.
What to Expect from ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’
Although the absence of Nate may be a disappointment, there is still much to look forward to in the sequel. The original film’s writer and producer, Aline Brosh McKenna, has promised that the sequel will be “very different” and “just as delightful.” The film is said to focus on Andy’s new position as editor-in-chief of Runway and the challenges she faces in the ever-changing world of fashion.
The Impact of Nate’s Absence
While it may be disappointing for some fans, the decision to not bring back Nate could actually be beneficial for the sequel. By introducing new characters and storylines, it allows the sequel to stand on its own and not rely on the success of the first film. It also opens up the opportunity for fresh faces and talent to make their mark in the ‘Devil Wears Prada’ franchise.
In Conclusion
While it may be bittersweet for some fans, it is clear that ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ will still be a highly anticipated and exciting film. With the absence of Nate and the introduction of new characters and storylines, it has the potential to be just as successful and beloved as the original. Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure - ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ fans will be eagerly waiting for its release.
