Brilliance or blasphemy? You decide…
54 years after the original Mary Poppins movie, the sequel has just about finished cooking. Set 25 years after the original film, it stars an all-new cast of Emily Blunt as the titular Mrs P, Lin-Manuel Miranda as a distinctly chimney-sweepesque lamplighter, and acting royalty such as Colin Firth, Angelia Lansbury, Dick Van Dyke, Emily Mortimer, and Julie Walters.
The film floats gently into British cinemas on December 21, just in time for Christmas. We reckon it’s the perfect movie to hit that comforting Paddington-shaped spot. Mugs of tea with spoonfuls of sugar all round!
