Meryl Streep Calls Out Marvel-ized Movies


The Devil Wears Prada 2 star Meryl Streep is ready for a break from the “Marvel-ized” formula of the villains vs. the good guys.

The movie-making legend’s comments on the state of cinematic storytelling during a recent conversation with Hits Radio. When speaking about the messy attitude of her iconic Miranda Priestly character, she spoke about why a person who isn’t so cut and dry is often more fun to watch.

“I feel like you get a realistic view,” Streep said about how The Devil Wears Prada 2 portrays Miranda Priestly. “I think we tend to Marvel-ize the movies now. We got the villains, we got the good guys, and it’s so boring.”

The Devil Wears Prada 2 gave Streep’s Miranda Priestly a new look when it premiered yesterday, May 1, 2026. We gave the film a 7/10 in our review.

“If you’re looking to effortlessly slip back into the glossy and charming world of New York high fashion,” we said, “you’ll be delighted by the familiarity The Devil Wears Prada 2 provides. But if you want exact same characters that you met in the first movie, you might find the movie quite a change of pace.”
