During a SiriusXM Front Row chat, Emily Blunt candidly admitted to feeling intimidated by her co-star Meryl Streep while filming the original 'The Devil Wears Prada'.

Blunt, who is set to reprise her role in the highly anticipated sequel, recounted her experiences alongside Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Stanley Tucci. Blunt recalled the filming of the first installment, stating, 'I was quite scared...She was in a Miranda zone.' Streep, known for her role as Miranda Priestly, acknowledged maintaining a certain atmosphere on set.

Set to release on May 1, the sequel directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, will navigate the decline of traditional print media. Streep's character, Miranda Priestly, faces off against her former assistant, Emily Charlton, now a powerful luxury executive.
