Why it matters

The details

The returning ensemble, including Stanley Tucci as Nigel and Emily Blunt as Emily, suggests a broader ecosystem beyond Miranda's immediate orbit. The trailer leans on nostalgic atmosphere while keeping new cast members largely in the shadows, instead highlighting the awards pedigree of its four returning stars.
