First Look at Emily Blunt in Mary Poppins Returns
Disney have released the first image of Emily Blunt as the iconic English nanny and spoonful of sugar enthusiast in Mary Poppins Returns.
The image shows Blunt dressed in a blue petticoat with a burgundy hat presumably standing outside the Bank’s family home.
Mary Poppins Returns is set 25 years after the first film, during the 1930s depression-era London, which happens to be the time period of P.L. Travers' original novels. The story follows the now-grown children Michael (Ben Whishaw) and Jane Banks (Emily Mortimer) who've experienced a personal loss. With the help from her lamplighter friend Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda), Mary Poppins returns to help the Banks family with her magic once again.
The movie is currently filming in London and stars Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Dick Van Dyke, and Angela Lansbury. Directed by Rob Marshall, from a script by David Magee from the later novels of P.L. Travers with songs by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
Marry Poppins Returns opens in theaters December 25, 2018.
