New poster and trailer for Mary Poppins Returns starring Emily Blunt

March 5, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

Walt Disney Pictures has debuted the a teaser trailer and a new poster for Mary Poppins Returns, director Rob Marshall’s upcoming sequel to the classic 1964 film, which sees Emily Blunt following in the footsteps of Julie Andrews as the magical nanny; take a look below…

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 (Ben Whishaw) and Jane (Emily Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Julie Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Meryl Streep).

UPDATE: And here’s an international version…
