On Monday, Puck reported without citing sources that the new film will see Priestly at the end of her career, with the publishing industry in decline. Emily Blunt, who played Priestly's assistant, has also signed on to the film, Puck reported.
Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter cited unnamed sources to report that the cast members haven't been confirmed yet, contradicting Puck's report.
Representatives for Disney, Streep, and Blunt did not immediately respond to a comment request from Business Insider.
