Hollywood A-lister Dwayne Johnson has revealed he pitched himself for a role in the upcoming film 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' which boasts an all-star cast, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Johnson shared that he was ready to take on a character who knew fashion, even if it meant wearing size 15 heels. Johnson, who recently collaborated with Blunt on the film 'The Smashing Machine,' told her about his desire to join the cast while she was filming 'The Devil Wears Prada 2.' Although he didn't land the role, Blunt kept him updated on the production by sending him videos from the set in New York City. The 53-year-old actor jokingly admitted that he was willing to wear high heels for the part, and Blunt playfully teased that he would look good in them. 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, and is based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel. Directed by David Frankel, the film is a sequel to the 2006 hit 'The Devil Wears Prada.'
