Disney gets to work with the second installment of 'Mary Poppins' y to direct it has Rob Marshall.
"Mickey Mouse's house" bet on a filmmaker who has us accustomed to a lime and a sand one. We do not know if the good one is the lime or the sand one, but it is clear that the bad ones are, among others, 'Nine' and 'Into the Woods', two musicals that were not at the level of his film 'Chicago'. Let's remember that 'Chicago' won six Oscars including best film, although obviously not best director.
We will refer to this film as 'Mary Poppins 2' for the moment, since the title Disney will use is unknown. One option could be 'Mary Poppins Comes Back', title of the direct sequel to the original film, although this new film focused on the famous nanny will be the adaptation of the eight volumes starring this character.
The original film directed by Robert Stevenson was set during the reign of Edward VII, or what is the same, sometime between 1901 and 1910, while this new film will tell what happened two decades after the original story.
We'll see if a sequel after so many years works And yes, above all, Rob Marshall returns to his best level, that of films like 'Memoirs of a Geisha' ('Memoirs of a Geisha').
