Disney teases Emily Blunt in "Mary Poppins Returns"

Earlier today, Disney tweeted a brief video of Emily Blunt in character in the title role as Mary Poppins for the upcoming sequel to the 1964 classic:


I realize that this is basically a tease of a tease, in that we don't see any actual footage of the film, but apparently a snippet was unveiled this weekend at the Disney Fan Club Expo (D23), and the audience freaked out.

Of course Meryl has a supporting role in the picture, playing Poppins's cousin, Topsy Turvey.  The film opens nationwide on Christmas Day, 2018.

    This may just be a smash hit of a movie. I was skeptical but it now looks like Meryl's attachment to Poppins was a smart move.

      I think you're right. And Rob Marshall stated that the themes of the movie was something that she wanted to be a part of "putting out into the world."

    I love sneak peeks, ups the anticipation. So looking forward to seeing something from The Papers, wrapping up soon so I have hope it will not be long before they start hyping it! Any news on The Nix would be much appreciated as well.
