An actor from ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, ready to reprise his role in the iconic film by Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep.

Actor Stanley Tucci has stated in an interview with entertainment tonight that he would be delighted to play Nigel again, his character from ‘The Devil Wears Prada’if I had the opportunity.

Tucci, who played the iconic art director of Runway magazine, that publication run with a heavy hand by Miranda Priestly – masterfully interpreted by Meryl Streep – recognized that Making the David Frankel movie was a “great experience”. And this experience was extrapolated to the public: based on the book by Lauren Weisberger, ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, the film was a great success and today it is considered one of the most emblematic comedies of recent years, in fact it is a of the best Disney + comedies to laugh.

The plot focuses on a fashion publication not unlike Vogue and with a female boss that all the staff are afraid of. A character inspired by Anna Wintour, the iconic editor of Vogue in the United States. And it is that Weisberger herself worked in the famous magazine as Wintour’s assistant before writing that great best-seller.

The film wasn’t just another nod to the long list of Streep, whose performance earned her another well-deserved Oscar nomination. In addition to Tucci’s Nigel, Emily Blunt’s Emily was also highly regarded by critics. And what to say about the person in charge of giving life to poor Andy Mills, a young woman who yearns to make a name for herself in the world of journalism and falls into a position that “a million girls would kill to have” except for her. It was the role that crowned the “surprise princess” Anne Hathaway.

Speaking about the film in 2021, the year the film turned 15, Tucci looked back on that work with great admiration.“It was nice. On a structural level, as a script, you could certainly visualize it as a movie (…) it had rhythm and moved you emotionally. It’s the perfect Hollywood movie“.

But not all roles are as likable as the charismatic Nigel. Tucci, who has played the most diverse characters, is clear about which one he would not do again: George Harvey, the role he played in ‘The Lovely Bones’, who admits that “it was horrible”. “It’s a wonderful movie“, the actor admits about the Peter Jackson film starring Saoirse Ronan, “but it was a hard experienceIn the film, Tucci played the killer of Ronan’s character, Susie, who watched from heaven what life was like for her loved ones after they passed away. Tucci said she asked Jackson why the filmmaker chose him for the part. “I tried to stop playing the part, which is crazy because I needed the job,” he said. “I was like, ‘Why do you want me?’ And he replied: ‘Because you’re funny.’ And I thought, ‘Okay. But I understand what he was saying.” Despite the bad memories of him, at least that performance earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

At the moment, we don’t have any more information about the long-awaited sequel to ‘The Devil Wears Prada’. Meanwhile, among Tucci’s next projects is the series ‘Citadel’ that will reach Prime Video on April 28.
