The ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ Trailer Has Been Released

A short while ago Walt Disney Studios put up the new Mary Poppins Returns trailer on their YouTube channel.

We get a better look at what the new sequel is about.

It appears that the Banks children, Jane and Michael, have grown up and Michael now has three children of his own. One day Mary Poppins returns on their old kite.

It appears that Mary Poppins is returning to help all of the Banks children when they need her. Like you would expect, her arrival turns everything magical.

From the trailer we also see that there will be a new animated sequence like the original too!

Dick Van Dyke is returning for the film.

As well as some familiar actors like Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Angela Lansbury, and Julie Waters.  Mary Poppins is played by Emily Blunt and is Directed by Rob Marshall. Lin-Manuel Miranda will be the new street lamp-lighter character Jack.  I’m super excited about him being in it.

Here’s the official Disney write-up:

Mary Poppins Returns,” an all new original musical and sequel, Mary Poppins is back to help the next generation of the Banks family find the joy and wonder missing in their lives following a personal loss. Emily Blunt stars as the practically-perfect nanny with unique magical skills who can turn any ordinary task into an unforgettable, fantastic adventure and Lin-Manuel Miranda plays her friend Jack, an optimistic street lamplighter who helps bring light—and life—to the streets of London.

You can see the new Mary Poppins Returns in theaters December 19, just in time for the holiday season.
