Sydney Sweeney was seen on the set of Devil Wears Prada 2, but fans strongly opposed her involvement, sparking heated debate over the sequel’s casting choice.
The Devil Wears Prada sequel is either going to be flawless or risk damaging the near-perfect legacy of the original. While fans enjoy constant updates from the set, some now wish the stream of photos and videos would slow down.
The latest spark came when Sydney Sweeney was spotted leaving a production trailer shortly after Emily Blunt, who is confirmed to be filming the sequel. Sydney kept her head down, used an umbrella to hide her face, and walked quickly enough to convince many that she’s officially in the movie.
It’s unclear if she’s taking on a major role, a cameo, or even playing herself. But reactions online were swift and brutal. Fans left comments like “no no please this is most definitely not ur movie girl”, “Immediately no.”, and “Not too late to recast.” Others said, “Please edit her out!!” and “Why’s Sydney Sweeney got to ruin everything omg.”

Some fans link the hate to the recent controversies, such as her soap opera background, to criticism over her American Eagle Ad. Others claim that the negativity is because some people cannot digest the idea of a woman with a growing career.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 will release in theatres next year, reportedly. The cast includes Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, along with Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci reprising their iconic roles.
New faces include Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, BJ Novak, and Pauline Chalamet in undisclosed roles. Kenneth Branagh and Patrick Brammall will play love interests for Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs, respectively.
