When word got out that Emily Blunt had been cast as the title character in Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns, the overwhelming response from most people was, “Well, sure.”
Mary Poppins Returns will also star Angela Lansbury, Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Emily Mortimer, and Dick Van Dyke.
These early photos suggest that Disney knows Blunt and Miranda are a very, very strong start.
The question as to whether or not Mary Poppins should be remade is no longer up for debate; the question of whether they’re going to get it right, however, is totally fair game.
