Actor Josh Gad simply tweeted “believe the hype. Wow,” one of many effusive and emotional tweets about the film. In a sweetly charming stamp of approval, Blunt’s husband actor-director John Krasinski couldn’t stop crying throughout the film.
‘Mary Poppins Returns’ boasts a mixture of elements that could make it a surefire festive hit. The film’s cast of Emily Blunt, Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, Colin Firth, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer, Julie Walters and Meryl Streep suggest it could well be stuffed to the brim with top-notch performances.
