Anne Hathaway is celebrating a major moment in her career after being named a Disney Legend at this year’s D23 event. The honor recognizes her connection to Disney and the lasting impact of some of her most popular roles.
According to Variety, Hathaway was recognized for her work with Disney, including her role as Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries. She first played the character in 2001, before returning for The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement in 2004. More than two decades later, fans are still waiting to see what comes next for the franchise.
One of the biggest questions surrounding The Princess Diaries 3 has been whether Julie Andrews will return as Queen Clarisse. The Hollywood Reporter reported that Hathaway has pushed for Andrews to come back for the third movie. Andrews has previously expressed uncertainty about returning, leaving fans wondering if the beloved character will appear in the new film.
Hathaway’s Disney recognition comes during an exciting period in her career. She also recently returned for The Devil Wears Prada 2, reuniting with Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. Hathaway also starred in one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer, The Odyssey.
For fans who grew up watching Hathaway as Mia, her Disney Legend honor is a fitting celebration of a role that has remained popular for more than 20 years. With The Princess Diaries 3 still generating interest, audiences will be watching closely to see who returns to Genovia.
