Anne Hathaway's 2026 film slate positions her for awards buzz

Anne Hathaway anchors a busy 2026 lineup that includes The Devil Wears Prada 2, Mother Mary, The Odyssey and Verity, and she reunites with Meryl Streep and director David Frankel on the Prada sequel. Critics called Hathaway "natural" and described Meryl Streep as "sublime" in early reviews of The Devil Wears Prada 2, which arrives 20 years after the 2006 original. Industry coverage frames Hathaway's range across prestige sequel and original dramatic roles as a pathway back to Oscar contention, recalling the awards momentum she had in 2012. The mix of high-profile franchise nostalgia and distinct dramatic vehicles makes 2026 her most awards-relevant year since 2012 and worth watching for voters and cinephiles alike.
