In the best news you will hear all day - a Mary Poppins remake is *definitely *happening and Mary Poppins will be played by the gorgeous Girl On The Train actress Emily Blunt. Disney have just proved it by releasing a picture of Emily in all her Poppins-esque finery.
Look how big her handbag is? No wonder she could pull of lampshades and mirrors from it. Also, we are slightly concerned that her famous brolly is missing from the shot?
The follow up to the 1964 film 'Mary Poppins Returns' and is due to be released on the 25th December, 2018. TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHTEEN. CHRISTMAS DAY. Disney, we literally cannot wait that long. Side note: Who goes to the cinema on Christmas day? We are not judging, just curious.
Emily Blunt will replace Julie Andrews who we need to thank for her mighty rendition of ‘A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down!’ for when our little one refuses to have Calpol. Or carrots.
And in even more good news for Marry Poppins original fans. Dick Van Dyke will be returning as chimney sweep Burt! The new movie will also star Meryl Streep, Angela Lansbury and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
See you at Cineworld in two Christmases then? You get the Tango Blasts and we’ll get the popcorn? Salty, don’t ask questions.
