'Mary Poppins Returns': Here's all the reasons why the revival movie already looks epic

Blunt's husband, John Krasinski, cried while watching the film. With Lin-Manuel Miranda rapping and a brilliant soundtrack accompanied by impeccable costumes, we aren't surprised!

There might not be Julie Andrews reprising her iconic, timeless character in the upcoming 'Mary Poppins Returns', but that doesn't make the reboot any less special. So far, what we do know is that the Rob Marshall-directed revival film will be starring Emily Blunt as the new Mary Poppins, and she is joined by 'Hamilton' creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, who will play the role of Jack, the street lamplighter. But while there won't even be a little cameo featuring Andrews, there are plenty of other things about the film that should work as your daily dosage of 'spoonful of sugar' for the era.
