Listen, we get that big studio projects require extensive marketing campaigns, but Disney, you’re really bringing us down with a preview of “Mary Poppins Returns” eighteen months before it hits theaters. We’re just trying to make it through the rest of the cinematic year as it is. But nonetheless, the studio has paired up with EW to drop some new images from the film.
Emily Blunt takes the title role in the Rob Marshall directed movie, which will take place twenty-five years after the original. It’s now 1930s London, and 17 Cherry Tree Lane has been put into foreclosure, but of course, Mary Poppins arrives with armload of magic and an umbrella filled with songs. Rounding out the talent on this one are Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer, Julie Walters, and Meryl Streep, so this has lots of potential to become a landmark for a whole new generation of families.
