The possibility of “The Princess Diaries 3” has been a hot topic amongst fans for years, especially since Disney announced its development over a year ago. While concrete details are still under wraps, star Anne Hathaway has assured fans that progress is being made. Let’s delve into what we know so far about the highly anticipated sequel.
Hathaway Confirms “The Princess Diaries 3” is in Development
In a recent interview with V Magazine, Hathaway, who played the charmingly awkward Mia Thermopolis, confirmed that the project is “in a good place,” although there are no official announcements yet. This news comes as a beacon of hope for fans who have eagerly awaited the return to Genovia.
A Sequel More Likely Than “The Devil Wears Prada 2”
While “The Princess Diaries 3” seems to be on track, Hathaway expressed doubts about a sequel to another one of her beloved films, “The Devil Wears Prada.” She acknowledged the significant technological advancements since the original film’s release, particularly in the fashion industry’s shift towards digital platforms, making a sequel feel less feasible.
What We Know About “The Princess Diaries 3”
Disney confirmed in November 2022 that Aadrita Mukerji, known for her work on “Reacher” and “Supergirl,” is attached as the screenwriter for “The Princess Diaries 3.” However, plot details and a potential release date remain undisclosed.
The Return of Queen Clarisse?
The late Garry Marshall, director of the first two films, will be dearly missed. Adding to the uncertainty is the question of Julie Andrews’ involvement. Andrews, who played Queen Clarisse Renaldi, expressed doubts about her return in December 2022, citing her age as a factor.
Hathaway’s Hope for Andrews’ Return
Despite Andrews’ reservations, Hathaway remains hopeful, stating in an October 2022 interview that she would find a way to involve Andrews, even suggesting the use of green screens if necessary. The possibility of seeing Hathaway and Andrews reunite on screen is undoubtedly a major draw for fans.
The anticipation for “The Princess Diaries 3” continues to build as fans eagerly await more concrete updates. Whether Queen Clarisse returns or not, the prospect of revisiting Genovia with Hathaway at the helm is an exciting prospect for fans worldwide.
