First look at Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins
Hang on to your (nanny's) hat, Disney has released the first picture from Mary Poppins Returns.
Emily Blunt is stepping into Julie Andrews' shoes for the movie which won't be released until Christmas 2018.
But the first picture from the set shows Blunt in the coat and hat of the mysterious nanny and with a doctor's bag full of presumably magic tricks.
The English actress will be joined by Meryl Streep, Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton), Colin Firth, Julie Walters and Angela Lansbury, and the movie will also feature an appearance from Dick Van Dyke, who played the chimney sweep Bert in the original 1964 film.
The plot sees Poppins return to the Banks family after a tragedy strikes them.
