1st look at Lin-Manuel Miranda in Emily Blunt’s “Mary Poppins Returns”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Another image from "Mary Poppins Returns" hits the web as the filming kicks off in London. The new photo gives a sneak peek at "Hamilton" star Lin-Manuel Miranda as Jack the optimistic street lamplighter. Meanwhile, pictures from the set show a new look at Emily Blunt as Disney's favorite nanny wearing a red coat and cape, a matching bag and a slightly-tipped hat, AceShowbiz said.

Serving as a sequel to the original 1964 movie, the film is set in 1930s depression-era London. It follows the nanny re-entering the lives of the Banks family. The children Michael (Ben Whishaw) and Jane (Emily Mortimer) are now grown up. Michael already has his own children, and they live on Cherry Tree Lane with their housekeeper, Ellen (Julie Walters).

Mary Poppins will use her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. She also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Meryl Streep). Directed by Rob Marshall, it's due December 25, 2018 in the States.
