We already knew Emily Blunt was playing the titular role, along with Lin-Manuel Miranda as a co-star, but the rest of the stacked cast has been revealed with today's announcement. Come inside to learn more!
Frankly speaking, it's still a little odd to be writing about a sequel to Mary Poppins. It's not something I thought would ever happen, but lo and behold...Mary Poppins Returns already started filming. Today Disney brings the announcement for the start of production, giving us some more insight into the sequel's story as well as the impressive cast they've assembled.
“Mary Poppins Returns” is set in 1930s depression-era London (the time period of the original novels) and is drawn from the wealth of material in Pl Travers’ additional seven books. In the story, Michael (Whishaw) and Jane (Mortimer) are now grown up,...

For all of the hustle and bustle swirling around Disney’s slate of live-action fairytales, the Mouse House has spent the past 12 months quietly piecing together Mary Poppins Returns, the follow-up to Robert Stevenson’s 1964 family classic.
Unlike, say, next month’s Beauty and the Beast, Mary Poppins Returns is very much designed as a sequel to the first, as opposed to an out-and-out remake, with Emily Blunt’s magical nanny poised to pay a visit to the Banks family in 1930s London. Indeed, Blunt is just one of a handful of Hollywood A-listers on board for the 2018 movie, and just as filming gets underway in the English capital, Disney has now revealed the full ensemble cast.
Buoyed by the landmark success of his Broadway hit Hamilton – not to mention musical contributions to the likes of Moana – Lin-Manuel Miranda will play the part of sprightly lamplighter Jack. Elsewhere, Spectre‘s...

Disney announced this morning that this sequel Mary Poppins Returns has gone into production, and the full cast has been confirmed. A more detailed synopsis and a few extra character notes have also been revealed. Despite the beloved nature of the original 1964 film there has been a distinct lack of uproar about revisiting (and recasting) characters dear to generations of children. Perhaps time enough has passed, or the fact that Dick Van Dyke is returning at 91 to appear in the film. Perhaps it is the presence of Hamilton’s own Lin-Manuel Miranda, who has an evidenced ocean of talent and a charm so tangible he could punch through walls with it.
Whatever the case, Disney know exactly what they’re doing. In casting Emily Blunt as the title character, Mary Poppins Returns has been carried on a wave of goodwill thus far. Today production begins at Shepperton Studios here in the UK,...
