In a new interview with Variety, actor Stanely Tucci speaks with writer Matt Minton about the status of a sequel for “The Devil Wears Prada,” “Captain America: The First Avenger,” and being shocked by the diversity of the audience for “Conclave.” 

On the status of a sequel for “The Devil Wears Prada”: “I know they’re working on it. If it happens, I would be so happy, but I cannot give you any information. Otherwise, I’ll go to the actor’s prison or something. [The original] was one of the best experiences ever.”

On “Captain America: The First Avenger”: “I loved “Captain America: The First Avenger,” it was one of the greatest roles and jobs I’ve ever had. I was there for three weeks and had a wonderful time, and I also loved playing that character. I was cast as a 70-year-old man at the age of 50, so that was disturbing, but that’s all right; I was flattered and insulted at the same time…You have to mix it up, as they say.”

On the diversity of the audience for “Conclave”: “From what I’ve heard, I’m shocked at the diversity of the audience. Also, this is a very adult film. But it’s not pretentious. It simply shows you what’s happening. And these people are making it happen or failing and fumbling to make it happen, and I think that’s why people like it…

On which of his films have stood the test of time: “I mean, certainly ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ ‘The Lovely Bones’ without question, ‘Julie & Julia.’ I made a movie with Colin Firth about five years ago called ‘Supernova’…It’s an absolutely beautiful film. I love that director [Harry Macqueen] and it got wonderful reviews and everything, though there were no awards or anything like that. That made me sad for the director/writer because I think he’s extraordinary. Getting an independent film about that subject off the ground like that is hard, and I wanted him to have more. I wanted him to have more success afterward…Then you also have the fun big movies that you do.”
