A sequel to 2006's much-loved dramedy The Devil Wears Prada has been in the works for well over a decade, though for much of that time stars Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Meryl Streep expressed little-to-no interest in actually doing it.

But by last summer, The Devil Wears Prada 2 was indeed confirmed to be happening, even as some questioned whether Streep - being both 75 years of age and famously sequel-averse - would actually want to reprise her iconic role of magazine editor Miranda Priestly.

After all, the only other time Streep has appeared in a sequel to one of her previous films was Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, where she only agreed to show up for a cursory cameo.

But it's since been confirmed that Streep will not only co-star in Prada 2 but have a major role alongside Hathaway and Blunt. 

Considering that Streep was Oscar-nominated for her performance in the first film, could she become one of the few actors to be nominated for the same role twice?
