Rumours have been flying since last September, but now THR reports Emily Blunt is in official talks to star as Mary Poppins in Disney’s sequel to its 1964 classic.
Rob Marshall is directing the film which will be set 20 years after the events of the original film.
The live-action musical is set in Depression-era London and revolves around a now-grown Michael Banks, who has children of his own. In tough times, big sister Jane returns and soon after, their beloved Mary Poppins comes back to help.
Marshall, Marc Platt and John DeLuca are producing the film which will get a script from scribe David Magee.
