Emily Blunt

Disney’s new Marry Poppins has joined Dwayne Johnson in the new ‘Jungle Cruise’ movie.

When word got out that Emily Blunt had been cast as the title character in Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns, the overwhelming response from most people was, “Well, sure.” Blunt has proven herself to be genre agnostic over the years, as likely to wow audiences in a science-fiction or action film as she is in a light-hearted comedy. That alone would make her an ideal candidate for Mary Poppins  —  as the rare actress capable of convincing audiences that she’d do justice to an iconic character  —  but she also bears a physical resemblance to Julie Andrews to boot. You couldn’t ask for better casting.

Julie Andrews has nothing but nice things to say about Emily Blunt taking over the iconic magical nanny role in 'Mary Poppins.'

Krasinski said he felt like he was hiding porn the first time Blunt caught him watching.

In what is shaping up to be the most pleasant of Disney’s new live-action offerings, the consistently pleasant Ben Whishaw is in talks to join the similarly quite pleasing Emily Blunt and the equally personable Lin-Manuel Miranda in the indubitably enjoyable Mary Poppins sequel. It may be fairly unsurprising news, but that doesn’t make it any less wonderful.

The couple kept the June 2016 birth of their new baby — who is named after a gorgeous flower — under wraps for two weeks.

'The Devil Wears Prada' turns ten years old on June 30 — celebrate by seeing what the cast looked like then and now.

Mary Poppins is back. Or um, returning.

Firth will star with Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Meryl Streep in the sequel set 25 years after 'Mary Poppins'.

Edge of Tomorrow — the best summer blockbuster of 2014 — may have underwhelmed at the domestic box office, but it’s difficult to find anyone who actually watched it who didn’t have a great time with it. So when Tom Cruise starts teasing a potential sequel that will reunite him and Emily Blunt for another round of time-traveling, alien-shooting, heavy-armor-wearing, yoga-posing awesomeness, our ears perk up. Yes please, we would like an Edge of Tomorrow 2.
