Blunt is taking on a role originally played by Julie Andrews in the original "Mary Poppins," and those are some big shoes to fill. There was a sizeable contingent on Twitter that was very irritated to see Blunt step in as the beloved nanny.

Ms. Blunt's #MaryPoppinsReturns better bring it. @JulieAndrews is movie musical royalty. #Disney's @MaryPoppins is not to be trifled with. http://pic.twitter.com/x6ZtA0JX2G

No. Don't do it @DisneyStudios! Don't ruin the classic w/ a horrid sequel!

It may help that the upcoming film isn't a remake; instead, movie lovers will see grown-up versions of the Banks children encounter the new Mary Poppins. She shows up to help out after a family tragedy.

We'll see if Blunt can change angry fans' minds when "Mary Poppins Returns" arrives at Christmas 2018.
