“And I think – isn’t Meryl [Streep] say something funny about it? She was asked about it: ‘Would you ever do a sequel?’ and she said, ‘Yes, if I don’t have to lose weight.’ But I think she said ‘fucking weight,'” the actress recalled.

While Blunt shared the current state of the cast regarding the sequel, she has expressed mixed emotions about the idea in the past. In 2018, she told PEOPLE that she didn’t think a second movie was likely at the time, but added, “If everybody was doing it, I’d be all for it.”

“I almost hope not [happen] because I think sometimes when you go on it dilutes how special the original is,” Blunt said.

Four years later, in an interview at ViewBlunt told the co-hosts that she would “please [a sequel] in the blink of an eye just to play with those guys again.”

But a week before, Hathaway shared with View co-host that she didn’t know if there could be a continuation. “I just think that movie was in a different era, you know? Now everything has become so digital, and that movie was focused on the concept of producing a physical thing,” Hathaway said. “It’s just very different now.”

Hathaway suggested rebooting the film with a new cast.
