- David Frankel tried to sneak Adrian Grenier into a cameo but it was too late in the production schedule to make it happen.
- Adrian Grenier said he was disappointed not to be called for the sequel and suggested a possible spinoff could give the character another chance.
- Devil Wears Prada 2 premieres on May 1, marking the sequel’s launch after a 20‑year jump in the story timeline.
- Starbucks aired a commercial where Grenier poked fun at his Nate role, which Frankel praised as self‑effacing.
Why it matters: The film’s May 1 release (deadline) and its 20‑year jump in the story give the studio a clear launch window, while fans lose a nostalgic cameo, potentially dampening buzz and spinoff momentum.
