Mary Poppins Returns star Emily Blunt admits she didn't know about P.L. Travers' original Mary Poppin novels before she signed on for Disney's movie sequel. Like so many people before her, however, Blunt did grow up watching (and loving) Julie Andrews as the practically perfect - and magical - nanny from Disney's 1964 musical, Mary Poppins. Blunt's love for the film was indeed a big part of what got her to sign on for the long-awaited followup to begin with.
