When Eva was two years old she watched Mary Poppins about 45 times. We would watch it daily for weeks on end. She just became obsessed with it. Having her watch it at first was my idea. We were going to Walt Disney World for the first time with her and I booked a character breakfast that had Mary Poppins as one of the characters. We wanted to make sure that Eva knew who who Mary Poppins was. She liked her so much that Allison knit her Mary Poppins’ scarf. Meeting Mary Poppins was a huge highlight for Eva’s trip and we continued to watch the movie over and over. I’m excited about this upcoming movie because I think Eva will like it very much.

Directed and produced by Rob Marshall, MARY POPPINS RETURNS also stars Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer and Julie Walters with Colin Firth and Meryl Streep. Continue reading The First Image of Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins in MARY POPPINS RETURNS
