Anne Hathaway is Officially Returning to Genovia
A heartwarming announcement that sent fans into a frenzy as Anne Hathaway confirmed she will reprise her iconic role as Princess Mia Thermopolis in the third installment of the highly acclaimed Princess Diaries film series. The news is shared through an Instagram post on Friday, marking a long-awaited reunion with the beloved character who captured hearts all around the world.
The third film, waiting on the list, titled tentatively as The Princess Diaries 3 will, according to the first two films, work as a kind of prequel: focusing on the young age life of Mia, prince’s life problems, and who she actually is. Needless to say that information about the scenario will not be announced, but this news has sparked fire among fans waiting for a continuation of such a wonderful story.
The quirky scene’s teamwork in depicting Mia Thermopolis as the shy, awkward teenager crowned heir unexpectedly to the throne of Genovia really struck the beauty in the audience’s heart. Well, one can say that when the performance was paired with the warm heart of this film, which spoke of self-discovery and acceptance, it became a cultural phenomenon.
This series of films, released in 2001 and 2004 respectively, brought a lovable world called Genovia, and its strange characters, to the big screen. The history of the series is based on the life of Mia, who holds dual positions as a princess and a ‘normal’ citizen. Her struggles and happy times evolved while coping with the heavy load of her royal duties while leading a conventional life. The series also held much importance for themes such as friendship, family, and loyalty to oneself.
A great surprise for fans who are so eagerly waiting to have the continuation of the series. Despite the news on the release date and other new casts that will be present, a trip through the magical kingdom of Genovia with Mia would already make anyone excited.
When the third part of The Princess Diaries is finally in the cinemas, one can see that the series’ enduring success well shows that the ideas and characters were timeless. This movie will be warm and nostalgic, one that would make both old viewers come back to it again and please first-time fans just being exposed to the series.
