Golden Globe Award® winner Emily Blunt (Into the Woods, the upcoming Girl on the Train) and Emmy®, GRAMMY®, Tony Award® and Pulitzer Prize winner Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In the Heights) are set to star in Mary Poppins Returns, a sequel to the studio’s 1964 classic, Mary Poppins, which will be released on December 25, 2018.

I guess this may be up there for longest gap between sequels.

I don't think this means Rogue One moves. I think it means Disney owns Christmas this year with a one-two whammy, just like they owned the start of Summer with Jungle Book/Civil War.

Hype as fuck for Lin. Hamilton is the finest work of art of the decade so far, and I want to see that dude have unlimited success.

EDIT: DOH. I misread. We're not talking about Rogue One.

Is it an actual sequel? This is a film that would essentially be a reboot considering the nature of her job with different children.

I mean unless it actually refers to the past events of the other film can it be considered a sequel?

Is Miranda going to be Burt?

Dick Van Dyke is going to pass on the torch, only to be brutally murdered by his own flesh and blood.

Hollywood know people were sick of all the remakes and prequels. So now they make pseudo-remake sequel reboots, movies designed to restart dormant properties and follow the same story beats as the original, but the events happen after the original series so that they can call it a sequel.
 
Could secure his EGOT here, though im sure the eventual Hamilton movie will give him it too.

He's composing songs for Moana (which comes out this year), so that's his first shot at the Oscar.

And it'd be a PEGOT since he recently won the Pulitzer for Hamilton. Only 2 other people have won all five of those awards.
 
I thought they had moved everything to Dec... hmm

Could be wrong though

I think only VIII was announced to be pushed to Dec, iirc.

Avatar 2 is also slated to hit that month, but who knows how seriously Disney is taking that threat. :lol
 
I cringed at the title, and I don't have a huge attachment to Mary Poppins, but seeing Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda's names attached to this has me actually kinda interested.
