Emily Blunt (Edge of Tomorrow, The Devil Wears Prada) is reportedly in talks to star in Disney's upcoming Mary Poppins sequel.

The casting would reunite Blunt with producers John DeLuca and Marc Platt, and director Rob Marshall. Blunt has been Disney's top choice to play Poppins ever since the foursome worked together on Into the Woods, according to Variety.



The new Mary Poppins film will be set 20 years after the events of the 1964 classic. The sequel will take storylines from the P.L. Travers’ books "focusing on the magical nanny’s continued adventures with the Banks family."
