'Mary Poppins Returns': Yes, Lin-Manuel Miranda is rapping, and no, fans can't keep calm about it!

Once Lin-Manuel Miranda was cast as Jack, the street lamplighter, fans had speculated the possibility of him resorting to rapping again, just as he did for his play, 'Hamilton.'

The axiom of opposites attracting applies quite well to movies. Fans of 'Mary Poppins' who have watched the original and will now see the revival 'Mary Poppins Returns' will find a pleasant and surprising addition to the film's musical repertoire. Mary Poppins and rap music? Who would have thought? But trust Lin-Manuel Miranda to fuse both and still manage to create what looks like a stellar masterpiece in the revival film starring Emily Blunt. Ever since it was announced that the Rob Marshall-directed upcoming film would feature the 'Hamilton' creator, aka Miranda, as Jack the street lamplighter and also the titular character's possible comrade, fans had speculated the possibility of him resorting to rapping again, just like he did for his play, 'Hamilton'. Shortly after, fans suspicions came true and it was announced that apart from a spoonful of sugar, Mary Poppins will also bring a rapping Miranda to the audience when it releases on December 19. The response? Quite interesting.
