My question: Is it going to be a modern day sequel (it's possible she doesn't age), or will it stay within the original's time period?
 
Are they really gonna call it 'Mary Poppins Returns'?

They need to go through the offical franchise mill list:
Mary Poppins Chronicles
Mary Poppins Origins
Mary Poppins Begins
Mary Poppins Falls
 
Mary Poppins returns with a drug addiction after the stress of looking after kids takes it's toll.

Spoonful of heroin helps the stress go down, the stress go down....

Considering how apparently difficult it was to get the first movie made, I wonder what PL Travers would think of this.
 
Lol only Disney would be cheeky enough to finance a film of the author's life where she hates with a passion Disney's adaptation then make a sequel 5 years later.
 
You missed 'Mary Poppins:Requiem".

Mary Poppins: Duodecim
Mary Poppins: 365/2 Days
Mary Poppins: Flying Fairy (wait, that one actually kinda works)
Mary Poppins: Turbo
Mary Poppins: Alpha
Mary Poppins: Hyper Fighting
Super Mary Poppins 2 Remix
 
I dunno man, throw this in with Ben Hurr. I get the idea behind remakes but some of these seem iffy. Is there really a demand for a Mary Poppins film in 2018?
 
Wonder if it's based on Mary Poppins Comes Back?

This makes total sense for Disney, kind of similar to Alice being a blend of the first film and Through the Looking Glass and their Strategy with Oz The Great and Powerful and Maleficent: why completely remake a classic when there's a trove of untapped material from PL Travers?

Travers was so unilaterally pissed off with Disney for how they handled the first she had a stipulation in her will where American companies are banned from adapting her work. So unless they find a massive loophole, they can't really.
 
Shary Bobbins will return on The Simpsons in a Season 30 episode where it's revealed she survived being incinerated by a jet engine and is out for revenge against the Simpsons family for ruining her prosperous nanny career. Much hilarity will ensue.

Never really felt like the original needed a sequel. Besides I can't think of a young in vogue actress that isn't a downgrade to young Julie Andrews.
 
I still think Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music are among the best movies ever made, largely because Julie Andrews was more than human. She was a force of nature, a frame of mind.

Not really looking forward to this since they plan to keep the same kids (now grown up). If it was a new family I'd be happier about it. Then again, if they're going by the books (which I haven't read) then presumably there's a decent story to tell.
 
Man this sucks. I really would rather this not be remade even though I don't have to watch this

Im not usually irrational about these movie remakes in that manner but I really adore the original.

Edit: Oh its not a remake. Carry on then!
 
I'm not familiar with the Mary Poppins mythos. How did she get her powers? Who is her arch nemesis?

Will Emily Blunt get to fuck shit up?
 
I was hoping for "Mary Poppins: Revenge."

That said, I'm looking forward to it. Not the movie, just the inevitable multi-thousand post GAF thread of dudes lusting after Mary Poppins.

It's not a remake? The name of the movie is literally Mary Poppins Returns. I... I don't know how it could be more blatantly a sequel.

Edit: Ah you edited and saw it's a sequel! Hahaha
