Trivia

⋄ Dame Julie Andrews, who portrayed the title character in Mary Poppins (1964), endorsed the casting of Emily Blunt as her successor, calling it a “wonderful” casting decision. Blunt said it was “lovely” to receive Andrews’ stamp of approval, and cried tears of joy when she found out about Andrews’ reaction.
⋄ Emily Blunt dove into P.L. Travers’ books, and found out that the character is remarkably different from Walt Disney’s vision and Dame Julie Andrews’ characterization in Mary Poppins (1964), so Blunt’s interpretation is closer to the books.
⋄ Emily Blunt doesn’t appear on-screen until twenty minutes into the movie.
⋄ Like Julie Andrews Emily Blunt wore a wig in this film since her hair is Blonde and not Brunette.
