Anne Hathaway’s lucky Disney milestone before Princess Diaries 3
Anne Hathaway just solidified her place in the cinematic pantheon, achieving a major milestone as she is officially inducted into Disney’s Hall of Fame. This recognition came ahead of her highly anticipated return as Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries 3, marking a celebrated chapter in her storied career with the studio.
The induction event was a night of high praise, where Hathaway was honored by her former director, David Frankel, and Vogue editor Anna Wintour. During her acceptance speech, Hathaway shared a heartfelt reflection on her journey, declaring herself “one of the most insanely lucky people in the world.” She was joined by her family, including her husband Adam Shulman and their sons, Jonathan and Jack, celebrating this momentous achievement.
This honor perfectly encapsulates Hathaway’s remarkable trajectory, one built on a foundation of diverse and critically acclaimed performances. 2026 proved to be an exceptionally busy and rewarding year for the actress, packed with major cinematic endeavors that showcased her versatility and talent.
The year kicked off with the psychological musical drama Mother Mary, where Hathaway explored complex relationships as a pop star reconnects with her ex-costume designer, forcing her to confront her past. Following this, she embraced the spotlight again by reprising her role as Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which reunited her with a legendary cast, including Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.
Hathaway’s filmography continued with high-profile cinematic ventures. She joined a blockbuster ensemble in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey alongside Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, and Zendaya. This epic film debuted globally and quickly amassed an incredible $1.296 billion worldwide.
Adding further flavor to her year, she also starred in the sci-fi thriller The End of Oak Street, where she played Denise Platt. Looking forward, Hathaway is set to tackle new projects, including the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel in Verity, and upcoming works like Alone at Dawn and, of course, the highly awaited The Princess Diaries 3.
