Emily Blunt poses in costume as Mary Poppins for EW cover
Emily Blunt has treated fans to a sneak peek of the long-awaited Mary Poppins Returns sequel on the cover of Entertainment Weekly in a “first look” special.
The British actress posed as the much-loved storybook nanny on the magazine cover wearing a red coat with cape, blue polka-dot leather gloves and a matching hat.
Blunt takes over the iconic role from Julie Andrews in the iconic 1964 Disney movie.
The sequel Mary Poppins Returns – out on Christmas Day – will take viewers 25 years into the future as the story of Jane (Emily Mortimer) and Michael Banks (Ben Whishaw) continues. Now all grown up, they have three children.
91-year-old Dick Van Dyke, who played cheeky chappy chimney sweep Burt in the original film, will also make an appearance in the new film. And he will be joined by other famous stars including Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Angela Lansbury and Julie Walters.
Mary Poppins Returns hits cinemas on December 25.
