Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are opening up about the shocking character developments in The Devil Wears Prada 2 — and fans may not see these twists coming.
⚠️ Warning: Spoilers ahead
Emily Charlton’s Ruthless Power Move
Blunt reprises her role as Emily Charlton, now a high-powered executive in the fashion world. But in the sequel, her ambition reaches a new level.
Emily secretly plots to take control of Runway by convincing her billionaire boyfriend, Benji (played by Justin Theroux), to buy the company — ultimately aiming to remove Miranda Priestly from power.
Blunt describes her character as:
“Someone willing to claw over someone’s back to steal anything.”
Despite her ruthless actions, Blunt adds that Emily is more desperate than cruel, driven by a need to define herself through success.

A Fall — and Redemption
The film explores Emily’s downfall and eventual growth.
Blunt noted that:
“She needed to be taken down a peg or two.”
In a key moment, Emily reconnects with Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), hinting at forgiveness and a new beginning after years of rivalry.
Nigel’s Emotional Twist Steals the Spotlight
Meanwhile, Stanley Tucci’s Nigel delivers one of the film’s most unexpected and emotional twists.
It’s revealed in the final scene that Nigel orchestrated Andy’s return to Runway — a strategic move to save the struggling publication.
His final line, “Forever my girl,” directed at Andy, became a standout moment.
Blunt admitted the scene gave her:
“Goosies” on set.
A “Bold Move” for Nigel’s Character
Tucci described Nigel’s decision as:
“A bold move… but beautifully done.”
He explained that Nigel recognized Runway’s decline and believed Andy — now an accomplished journalist — was the key to restoring its credibility.
