Last night’s Oscars were filled with unforgettable moments, but as a lifelong lover of musicals, nothing thrilled me more than the debut of the teaser trailer for the upcoming Mary Poppins film during a commercial break. After watching it 17 times in a row, I still had chills all over—it’s that fantastic! Emily Blunt takes on the iconic role made famous by the legendary Julie Andrews, and even in this brief glimpse, it’s clear she’s going to bring something special to the character.
Get ready for a heart-pounding experience! Titled Mary Poppins Returns, this film features Blunt as the titular nanny, with the brilliant Lin-Manuel Miranda co-starring as Jack, a lamplighter who apprenticed under Bert, the beloved chimney sweep. In an interview with Variety, Miranda shared that his character is well-acquainted with Poppins’ enchanting ways. “I know if Mary Poppins shows up, it’s gonna get awesome. I perform that function in the movie, of saying: ‘Y’all don’t know about Mary Poppins. When Mary’s around, cool sh*t happens,’” he remarked.
Set to be released on Christmas Day, this sequel takes us back to London during the Great Depression, about 25 years after the original. The trailer opens with a stormy scene where Jack struggles with a kite, only to discover Mary Poppins on the other end. The Banks children, now grown (played by Emily Mortimer and Ben Whishaw), reconnect with Poppins at the end of the trailer, with Michael exclaiming, “It’s wonderful to see you,” to which Poppins responds, “Yes, it is. Isn’t it?”
But the exciting casting doesn’t stop there. Alongside Blunt and Miranda, the film also features talents like Meryl Streep, Angela Lansbury, and Colin Firth. And for fans of the original, there’s delightful news—Dick Van Dyke will reprise his role as Mr. Dawes Jr., thanks to some impressive makeup and a white beard.
Social media is buzzing with anticipation for this film, and I’m just as eager! Can we fast forward to Christmas already?
