Emily Blunt has built a formidable cinematic legacy across genres, moving seamlessly from the fierce intensity of action thrillers to the sharp wit of prestigious dramas. Her roles, from the high fashion tyranny of The Devil Wears Prada to the terrifying silence of A Quiet Place, define versatility and range. Despite this diverse catalog of acclaimed performances, the discussion recently turned to a project outside her oeuvre, revealing a deep, personal affection for the role of Mary Poppins she holds most dear.

Having traveled through every wavelength there is when it comes to acting, Blunt prefers the one character that embodies a spectrum.

During a promotional appearance for Emily Blunt’s highly anticipated new film, The Smashing Machine, the acclaimed actress participated in the GOAT Talk segment. Therein, a question was posed regarding a movie in which she wished she had been cast. Emily Blunt added the G in goat by naming a movie that she has already been in, Mary Poppins Returns. She further explained that “I’m in it in my head.”

This exchange was covered in the GOAT Talk segment, where the actress reflected on her favorite film, a clear demonstration of her deep connection to classic cinema. While her own musical sequel did not earn the coveted top prizes, it garnered significant recognition, including nominations at the Golden Globes and Academy Awards for its score, songs, and production design. Crucially, Emily Blunt’s critically acclaimed portrayal of the title character was personally honored; she earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for her fantastic, original performance.

Beyond critical praise and awards recognition, the true reason to watch the film lies in the heartfelt, magical story itself, validating why it is the actress' favorite film.

Mary Poppins Returns finds the beloved nanny returning to the now-adult Banks siblings, Michael and Jane, during the 1930s Depression. After Michael suffers a personal tragedy and faces the possible closure of the family's cherished home on Cherry Tree Lane, Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt) arrives to care for his three young children. Her mission is to help the grown-up Banks children rediscover the joy and wonder they have lost by guiding the family through whimsical adventures and restoring happiness.

Joined by the optimistic lamplighter Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda), Mary Poppins leads the family through dazzling scenarios, from underwater voyages to gravity-defying parlor dances. This sequel boasts a fantastic ensemble that blends star power with genuine talent, including Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer, and cameos from Meryl Streep and Angela Lansbury. One should watch this film because it is a visually spectacular, heartwarming continuation of a classic story that is filled with memorable songs.
