She is the new Mary Poppins

I'm kind of excited to see the series continued. I think they did a good job of choosing someone who favors Julie Andrews, and the girl can SING! I also think it's good that she's not going to be an exact replica, but be able to put her own stamp on the role. I haven't been able to get copies of the books, so I hope Disney does them justice (not holding my breath, but you never know).

At least there is actual confirmation now, instead of speculation. Love her and the original film, so I'm intrigued to see what happens

And why not?
No one can ever be Julie but there's always an open window for interpretation.

Exactly!

I love Julie Andrews and the original film, so why can't there be a sequel and a new actress's interpretation? Emily Blunt is amazing, and she can definitely put her own spin on the role without copying Julie because she is a spectacular actress too!

This is the only 'reboot' (I know it is a sequel but you get what I mean) that I am excited about because it is in safe hands with a practically perfect leading lady and more than qualified director at the helm.
