Update – Actor Lin-Manuel Miranda revealed a few plot details:
It’s a straight up sequel. Michael and Jane Banks have grown up, and they find themselves in their own spot, and Mary Poppins comes back to take care of Michael’s kids. I play a lamplighter named Jack who sort of grew up apprenticing to Bert. So I know if Mary Poppins shows up, it’s gonna get awesome. I perform that function in the movie, of saying: ‘Y’all don’t know about Mary Poppins. When Mary’s around, cool shit happens.’
Julie Andrews did an amazing job, why do another. No one can compare to this movie or do a better job. Let it go and do not waste your money on this movie. I will personally not see this movie, the original was enough for me.
