Stanley Tucci is opening up about the time after starring in The Devil Wears Prada, the 2006 David Frankel film in which he co-starred with Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Anne Hathaway.

The follow-up film could also potentially follow the plot of the book sequel, Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, released in 2013. That story takes years after the original and sees Andy and Emily come together as top magazine editors when Miranda comes sneaking back into Andy’s life.

Actor Stanley Tucci says he struggled to book jobs after starring in 2006's "The Devil Wears Prada" and took up whatever offers came his way. The actor played Nigel in the hit movie, also starring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt. Directed by David Frankel, the film was a box office success and also earned two Oscars.

Stanley Tucci said he "didn't quite understand" why finding roles proved so difficult after the 2006 film's critical and commercial success.

Not so groundbreaking — even for Stanley Tucci. The actor, 63, looked back on the ups and downs of his career in recent conversation with Vanity Fair, sharing that he "couldn't get a job" after his turn as the sardonic Nigel in The Devil Wears Prada.

It turns out that “The Devil Wears Prada” just might have put Stanley Tucci’s career in purgatory. The “Conclave” actor told Vanity Fair that it was difficult for him to find work following the iconic 2006 film.
