MARY POPPINS RETURNS – December 25, 2018 (Walt Disney Studios) Mary Poppins returns in an all-new sequel with a fresh sensibility that celebrates the spirit of the original. She is back to help the next generation of the Banks family find the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Emily Blunt (“The Girl on the Train,” “Into the Woods”) plays the practically-perfect nanny with unique magical skills that can turn any task into an unforgettable, fantastic adventure, and Lin-Manuel Miranda (“Hamilton,” “Moana”) plays her friend Jack, an optimistic street lamplighter who helps bring light—and life—to the streets of London.
“Mary Poppins Returns” is drawn from the wealth of material in the additional Mary Poppins books. Set in 1930s Depression-era London, the film takes place 24 years after the original. Michael Banks works for the same financial institution that employed his father and still lives at 17 Cherry Tree Lane with his three children—Annabel, John, and Georgie—and their housekeeper Ellen. Jane Banks carries on her mother’s tradition, campaigning for workers’ rights and lending a helping hand to Michael’s family. Mary Poppins magically re-enters their lives after the family suffers a personal loss. With Jack’s help, she brings joy and wonder back into their home.
