Washington DC [US], April 13 : Actor and film producer Lucy Liu has teased her role in the much-anticipated sequel 'The Devil Wears Prada 2', describing it as a "mystery" while expressing excitement about working alongside a star-studded cast, according to People.

The sequel to the 2006 hit The Devil Wears Prada features returning stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci.

The sequel is set to follow Priestly "as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs," per Variety.
Liu described the film as "highly entertaining", promising audiences a mix of glamour and character development. "It's going to give you all the things and show that these characters have grown and changed," she said, according to People.
Calling herself a longtime fan of the original film, Liu added that sharing screen space with Streep and Hathaway was a memorable experience.
"Working with Annie and Meryl together in a scene was just amazing. It was almost like a reverie," she said, according to People.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated to hit theatres on May 1.
