Every Upcoming Disney Movie - Ranked

5. Mary Poppins Returns

Mary Poppins Returns
Disney

Release Date: December 19, 2019

There are belated sequels, and then there's Mary Poppins Returns, which comes some 54-years after the original. With that wait, there's also a lot of weight, as Mary Poppins is beloved by countless generations, and stands as one of the greatest movie musicals ever made.

Mercifully, Returns looks like living up to its predecessor. The trailers have done a great job of showcasing all the charm and magic the movie is going to need, and it looks like director Rob Marshall has done a great job in capturing the same spirit and tone, but also imbuing the story with even more emotion.

Emily Blunt looks practically perfect in every way as Poppins, and the stellar support includes Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, and Dick van Dyke (playing the son of the old banker he played in the first one). Coming out just in time for Christmas, this just be a massive festive hit.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
