Emily Blunt makes an appearance at Disney’s D23 Expo on Saturday afternoon (July 15) in Anaheim, Calif.

The 34-year-old actress was present to debut new content from her upcoming movie Mary Poppins Returns alongside director Rob Marshall. A cool motion poster featuring Emily as the title character can be seen below!

“I needed to try to pay homage to Julie Andrews but carve out a new space for myself. And we were very loyal to the books,” Emily said.

“I was incredibly honored to be approached by Disney about directing a sequel. This is a brand new original film musical from top to bottom, which is very rare, and it is a wonderful opportunity to create something specifically for the screen,” Rob added.

Footage from the upcoming teaser trailer was also shown at the panel and Emily floating down from the sky was one of the shots people were buzzing about!

Mary Poppins Returns will hit theaters on December 25, 2018.

FYI: Emily is wearing a Dolce&Gabbana dress, Gianvito Rossi shoes, and jewelry by Jamie Wolf, Sara Weinstock, and Savannah Stranger.

“The bar is so high for this,” director Rob Marshall, said of the film. “But to be able to walk in the footsteps of this beautiful story about a woman who brings magic to this family that’s looking for wonder and hope and joy in their lives… I feel a great responsibility and reverence every day. We all feel it. We’re just lifting it up to get there with the right intentions behind it.”

The film is set in 1930s depression-era London (the time period of the original novels) and is drawn from the wealth of material in PL Travers’ additional seven books. In the story, Michael (Ben Whishaw) and Jane (Emily Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Julie Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Meryl Streep).

The movie doesn’t hit theaters until December 25, 2018! For more from the cast, visit EW.com.
