Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cWhat\u2019s really interesting about life is that some of the heroes are flawed and some of the villains are human and interesting and have their own strengths,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that\u2019s what I like about this [movie]. It\u2019s messier,\u201d Streep concluded.<\/p>\n
Streep is not the first Hollywood A-lister to throw shade at Marvel.<\/p>\n
Big-time movie directors Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Quentin Tarantino have all gone after the genre, with Scorsese saying in 2019 that superhero movies were \u201cnot cinema\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Taxi Driver director also compared MCU films to \u201ctheme parks\u201d.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Tarantino blamed Marvel for Hollywood\u2019s lack of movie stars, saying in 2022 that the superhero characters overshadow the actors themselves.<\/p>\n
As for Streep, she also took a swipe at Travis Kelce during the Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour.<\/p>\n
In a recent featurette for the film, Streep randomly mentioned the Kansas City Chiefs player when she talked about the most difficult part of filming in Milan, Italy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hardest thing about shooting in Milan was walking in stilettos on the cobblestones,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019d like to see Travis Kelce do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Travis, 36, responded to Streep\u2019s shade on Wednesday\u2019s episode of his New Heights podcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope she doesn\u2019t have beef with me!\u201d Travis joked while chatting with his brother and podcast co-host Jason Kelce, noting that he\u2019s \u201ca fan\u201d of the Big Little Lies actress.<\/p>\n
Travis then joked, \u201cOh, Meryl, you have no idea how good I am at walking in heels. Okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
But when Taylor Swift\u2019s soon-to-be husband realised stilettos have \u201ca pointy bottom,\u201d Travis let Streep get away with the shady comment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll give credit where credit\u2019s due,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think I can do it, Meryl. I\u2019ll let you have that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Streep is back for The Devil Wears Prada 2 as Miranda, the cruel editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, a role she originated twenty years ago.<\/p>\n
She revealed in a recent interview that she initially refused to star in the 2006 cult classic, but she changed her mind when they doubled her salary.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was sure it would be a hit. And they needed me, I felt,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
Streep\u2019s co-stars Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt also reprised their roles for the new sequel.<\/p>\n
