The talented Emily Blunt will be seen on the big screen as Mary Poppins in Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns. The first trailer for the movie dropped recently and everything about it looks enchanting.

The sequel will feature former nanny of Jane and Michael Banks returning to them after a family mishap. The new movie is set 25 years after the original film, and so the Banks children are now all grown up, with families of their own.
The opening shot of the trailer sees a lone kite flying and very soon a child and the lamplighter are seen pulling at a kite only to discover a figure shrouded in the dark holding the other end, and descending from the sky as she does so. It is Mary Poppins of course, complete with a hat and all. The Banks children exclaim about how good it’s to see Mary Poppins again and one cannot help but agree with them.
The last shot features Emily Blunt’s mischievous Mary Poppins look in the mirror and comment about how she feels great about meeting the Banks children. Giving a magical twist to the video, Mary’s reflection continues to stay in the mirror as she carries to the last shot.
