“In Depression-era London, a now-grown Jane and Michael Banks, along with Michael’s three children, are visited by the enigmatic Mary Poppins following a personal loss. ”
From director Rob Marshall (Chicago, Into the Woods), Mary Poppins Returns is the latest foray into the world of the enigmatic Mary Poppins, a character that was brought to life by Walt Disney himself in 1964 when he personally cast Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins, alongside Dick Van Dyke. Now Mary Poppins is played by Emily Blunt (great choice if you ask me), and the rest of the cast includes Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, and a welcome return for Dick Van Dyke. Check out the official trailers below!!
Ted Takes Fun Facts, Mary Poppins Returns:
When the first Mary Poppins movie was being written, the lead role was offered to Julie Andrews by Walt Disney himself. Andrews told Disney that she was pregnant and couldn't do the movie. Disney wanted Andrews so much that he postponed the production in order to accommodate Andrews' pregnancy. When this movie was announced, the history repeated as Emily Blunt was also pregnant and the movie was postponed to accommodate her pregnancy.
