Even Anne Hathaway was stunned by the impact of seeing Miranda walk down the office passageways again. “Meryl, as Miranda, had started down the hallway ahead of me—I was maybe 50 feet behind her—and seeing her from the back was practically psychedelic,” she told Vogue.

For Hathaway, now an Oscar-winner herself, it was like going back in time. “I just felt so many portals open up at that moment. I was 22 again, but it was still now. Thankfully, this time, she didn’t stay in character the entire time, so we had a lot of laughs.” In a few months, audiences will be whisked back to the past and immerse themselves in the world that has already captivated generations.
