What Wonderful News!
Well, this will help make the medicine go down: Walt Disney Pictures officially announced Tuesday that Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda will star in a “Mary Poppins” sequel set to hit theaters on Dec. 25, 2018. “Mary Poppins Returns” will star Blunt as the practically perfect nanny, more than five decades after Julie Andrews played the role in Disney’s 1964 classic. Miranda will play a new character, a street lamplighter named Jack. Both had been reported to be in talks for those roles earlier this year.
