Mary Poppins Returns: Director Rob Marshall Interview
32Mary Poppins Returns: Director Rob Marshall Interview
With Mary Poppins Returns now playing in theaters, I recently sat down with director Rob Marshall to talk about making the hugely anticipated sequel. During the wide-ranging conversation, he revealed why he signed an overall deal at Walt Disney Studios, the challenges he faced in the editing room, why it’s always hard to find the way in and out of a musical number, deleted scenes, and more. In addition, with Marshall helming The Little Mermaid live-action adaptation, he talked about where they are in the production process.
As most of you know, Mary Poppins Returns is the follow-up to the 1964 classic that sees Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt) coming back into the life of the Banks family after they suffer a loss. Michael (Ben Whishaw) and Jane (Emily Mortimer) are now adults, but Mary, with the help of her friend, lamplighter Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda), has come to bring some joy and order into the life of Michael’s three children. The film also stars Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Angela Lansbury, Julie Walters, David Warner, and Dick Van Dyke.
