Let’s be honest—Anne Hathaway never really left. But lately, she’s reappearing on our screens, red carpets and social feeds with the kind of energy that says: “Yes, I’m a Hollywood icon. No, I don’t age. And of course, I’m booked and busy.”

As a 20-year-old who discovered The Princess Diaries via a dodgy YouTube playlist and immediately spiral-watched everything from Ella Enchanted to The DevilWears Prada, Hathaway has been my blueprint for everything—awkward girl turned queen, fairy-tale rebellion, and the ultimate glow-up. Her performances live rent-free in my brain, alongside quotes like “I’m just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.” (Yes, problematic. Yes, iconic.)
And now? We’re not just getting a few red carpet cameos. We’re getting the full-blown Hathaissaince. Her upcoming line-up is nothing short of a legendary ode to cinema. She’s not dipping a toe back in—she’s cannonballing, and we are here for it

The Devil Wears Prada 2 – The sequel we never dared to hope for. Will Andy be the new Miranda? Will Emily still demand her steak? Will Runway survive social media culture? We’re unwell.

Verity – A psychological thriller based on Colleen Hoover’s dark, bestselling novel. Hathaway in her dark femme era? Inject it.

The Odyssey – A futuristic retelling of Homer’s epic, with Hathaway playing Penelope in space. Shakespeare meets sci-fi? Bold. Wild. We're in.

Flowervale Street – A 1960s mystery thriller, directed by David Robert Mitchell (It Follows). Retro hair, eerie plotlines, and Hathaway in vintage fashion? Say less.

The Princess Diaries 3 – Still unconfirmed but very much rumoured. And if it does happen, I will cry actual royal tears.

Mother Mary – A fashion-industry drama with Michaela Coel. Drama, pop stardom, couture and chaos. High camp, high risk, high reward.
It’s giving range. It’s giving longevity. It’s giving “I’ve won an Oscar, done a rom-com, and now I’m in my unpredictable auteur era.”
Whether she’s stumbling through palace life in Converse or shutting down a boardroom in luxury houses, Hathaway has always nailed the balance of heartfelt and hilarious. And now, with a slate this strong, she’s reminding us why she’s still the main character.
