The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/a> star Meryl Streep is ready for a break from the “Marvel-ized” formula of the villains vs. the good guys.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The movie-making legend’s comments on the state of cinematic storytelling during a recent conversation with Hits Radio. When speaking about the messy attitude of her iconic Miranda Priestly character, she spoke about why a person who isn’t so cut and dry is often more fun to watch.<\/p>\n

“I feel like you get a realistic view,” Streep said about how The Devil Wears Prada 2 portrays Miranda Priestly. “I think we tend to Marvel-ize the movies now. We got the villains, we got the good guys, and it’s so boring.”<\/p>\n

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is the latest so-called legacy sequel to come out of Hollywood. Instead of putting Tom Cruise back into a jet or strapping Proton Packs onto new Ghostbusters, this years-in-the-making follow-up brings back the original cast \u2013 Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, and more \u2013 for a new story set around the rapidly changing world of fashion journalism.<\/p>\n

It’s been 20 years since the original The Devil Wears Prada premiered in theaters in 2006, so some changes for its larger-than-life characters are to be expected. Streep said the blurred lines between good guys and bad guys and the unexpected turns they may take resulted in a more entertaining film.<\/p>\n

“What’s really interesting about life is that some of the heroes are flawed, and some of the villains are human and interesting, and have their own strengths,” she added. “That’s what I like about [The Devil Wears Prada 2]. It’s messier.”<\/p>\n
