From 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' to 'Toy Story 5': The summer releases of 2026 to watch out for

Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway’s The Devil Wears Prada 2 has released in cinemas today. It’s a sequel that comes after two decades when everything about the world of journalism has changed, with focus shifting gears from print to social media and digital disasters. Amid this, Streep’s Miranda is in urgent need of a metamorphosis.

This is one of the biggest summer releases of the year which focuses on how AI is taking over the world of journalism and print journalism at its ebb. And Miranda is now cold, precise and always in control. She rarely raises her voice, yet dominates every room she walks into. A pause, a glance, or a single line is often enough. Streep’s restrained performance makes Miranda far more unsettling.
