Meryl Streep, the acclaimed three-time Oscar winner, recently revealed that she almost declined her iconic role as Miranda Priestly in 'The Devil Wears Prada'. Despite being impressed by the 2006 film's script, Streep initially rejected the offer, strategically aiming for a higher salary. In an interview, she shared, "I knew it was going to be a hit, and I wanted to see if I doubled my ask." This negotiation marked a significant moment in her career, as she considered stepping away from acting altogether at that time. Now, nearly two decades later, Streep is set to reprise her role in 'The Devil Wears Prada 2', alongside original co-stars Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. The sequel will also feature new cast members including Kenneth Branagh, Lucy Liu, and Lady Gaga, and is scheduled for release on May 1.
