See the first trailer for the Mary Poppins sequel

We’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of the Mary Poppins sequel ever since it was announced, and now, we’ve finally got our first look at the new film starring Emily Blunt as the iconic titular character.

Mary Poppins Returns is set in the 1930s, 25 years after the original film, and tells the story of the legendary nanny (who appears not to have aged) who returns to the Banks children after Michael and his three children suffer a personal tragedy.

Alongside Blunt, Emily Mortimer and Ben Whishaw will play Jane and Michael Banks and Meryl Streep will play Mary’s cousin, Topsy Turvy-Poppins. Julie Walters, Colin Firth and Angela Lansbury also star, with Dick Van Dyke confirmed to play a cameo role.

Mary Poppins Returns will be released this Christmas. Are you looking forward to watching the Mary Poppins sequel with your grandkids? Tell us in the comments below.
