on 14 september 2015, disney announced a new "mary poppins" film was to be made, with a new plot and new songs, although in p. l. travers' final will, another movie version was not to be made according to her wishes. the film is directed by rob marshall and written by david magee. songs are composed by marc shaiman and scott wittman, who both received support from richard sherman, who, along with his late brother-collaborator robert sherman wrote the iconic song score of the original "mary poppins" film, along with many others had secretly written the score as well. the film is not a reboot or remake of the original 1964 film; in this film mary poppins revisits the now-adult banks children from the first film and takes charge of the three children of michael banks. it is loosely based on the other seven "mary poppins" books by travers, and expands beyond them. emily blunt stars as mary poppins, alongside lin-manuel miranda in the role of jack, a similar character to dick van dyke's "bert" from the first film. it was announced on 31 may 2016 that the film would be titled "mary poppins returns" and would take place in great depression-era london, 25 years after the events of the original film. emily mortimer and ben whishaw play grown-up jane and michael banks. the release date was december 19, 2018 in the us and the uk.
