Mary Poppinsis back, y’all. Disney recently released the first teaser trailer for the highly-anticipatedMary Poppins Returns, which stars Emily Blunt as the famed, magical nanny in the role that was originated by the legendary Julie Andrews. She looks absolutely perfect in the trailer as Mary Poppins, but you know what makes it even better? Replacing Mary Poppins with Yondu fromGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, as evidenced by this fan trailer.
This fan trailer doesn’t utilize the entireMary Poppins Returnsteaser trailer. Just the bit that really counts. We see Lin-Manuel Miranda flying a kite in a storm and when the clouds open up, instead of seeing Emily Blunt, we see Michael Rooker’sYondu, who drops his instantly classic line, “I’m Mary Poppins, Y’all.” It makes the look on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s face a little more priceless. Not for nothing, but Disney ownsGuardians of the Galaxyand theMary Poppinsmovies. So they could make this happen if they really wanted to. The surely don’t, but they could. Maybe Thanos can mess around with the Reality Stone a bit and make this happen come time forAvengers: Infinity War. One can dream.
Michael Rookerhas fully embraced the love fans have for the line fromGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He even had “Mary Poppins” on his San Diego Comic-Con badge last year. Yondu’s time came to a heroic end in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the last movie. He died rather tragically in order to save Star-Lord’s life. Prior to his death, he was seen floating down slowly toward the ground near the end of the movie, at which point Peter Quill told him that he looked like Mary Poppins. Yondu, having no idea who that is, decided it was a pretty great honor and declared, “I’m Mary Poppins, y’all!”
As for the actual movie that’s coming our wary later this year,Mary Poppins 2is set in 1930s depression-era London, which is when author P.L. Travers' original books take place. The movie will be taking inspiration from those books and explore material not explored in the originalMary Poppinsmovie. Michael (Ben Whishaw) and Jane (Emily Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael and his family living on Cherry Tree Lane. Following a personal loss, themagical nannyre-enters, or returns, if you will, to the life of the Banks family. She uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder that’s missing in their lives.
If you want to seeMary Poppinsreturns in its actual form without Yondu, the movie is set for release on December 25. If you want to see Yondu deliver the classic line,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2is streaming on Netflix.
