The original Mary Poppins film was released in 1964 but, 54 years later, she’s returning in the shape of Emily Blunt.
Julie Andrews played the titular character in the original movie but the baton falls to Blunt for the revival, which finished filming last year.
The first teaser trailer for the highly-anticipated movie was dropped during the Oscars ceremony on Sunday
Okay, first thing’s first, I want to see the trailer.
Fill your boots:
In the teaser we see a young man chasing after a kite, the familiar kite we saw at the end of Mary Poppins, before Lin-Manuel Miranda joins him in the chase and helps him attempt to bring the kite in from the strong winds.
But of course, with the ‘winds in the east, mist coming in’, we all know ‘something is brewing and about to begin’.
And that is Mary Poppins, as she floats down with the kite in hand.
What’s Mary Poppins Returns about?
In Mary Poppins Returns, which is set two decades after the original, our beloved Michael and Jane are all grown up with children of their own. After Michael suffers a personal loss, Mary Poppins re-enters their lives.
She helps the children, who are played by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and Joel Dawson, rediscover the joy and wonder that is missing in their lives.
