'Mary Poppins' Sequel Gets Title and Release Date, Will Star Emily Blunt & Lin-Manuel Miranda

FUSE TV - 'Mary Poppins' Sequel Gets Title and Release Date, Will Star Emily Blunt & Lin-Manuel Miranda

Almost nine months after we first heard about it, the Mary Poppins sequel is officially a go. It's aptly titled Mary Poppins Returns, and it's hitting theaters on Dec. 21, 2018. Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt and Hamilton creator/star/general musical mastermind and freestyle rap extraordinaire Lin-Manuel Miranda have been rumored as the stars; today they're confirmed. Blunt is Poppins, while Miranda is a new character, a street lamplighter called Jack. 

The film is set two decades after the 1964 original, sliding the setting forward to 1930s London. Here's what Disney's press release promises:

"Drawing from the wealth of material in P.L. Travers’ seven additional novels, the story will take place in Depression-era London (when the books were originally written) and follows a now-grown Jane and Michael Banks, who, along with Michael’s three children, are visited by the enigmatic Mary Poppins following a personal loss. Through her unique magical skills, and with the aid of her friend Jack, she helps the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives."
