Magical nanny casts a new spell

In Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns, an all-new sequel, Mary Poppins is back to help the next generation of the Banks family find the joy and wonder missing in their lives. 

Michael Banks (played by Ben Whishaw) is the father of the household who was raised by Mary Poppins as a child but hasn't seen her in many years. But when tragedy strikes, he is astonished to answer the door to Mary herself.

Emily Blunt stars as the practically-perfect nanny with unique magical skills who can turn any task into an unforgettable, fantastic adventure. Lin-Manuel Miranda plays her friend Jack, an optimistic street lamplighter who helps bring light and life to the streets of London.

Catch the all-singing, all-dancing story when Mary Poppins Returns opens in cinemas on Christmas Day, December 25.
