Disney is working on a sequel to its classic Mary Poppins musical, with Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides director Rob Marshall at the helm.
The new Mary Poppins won't be a reboot of the original 1964 Disney movie, but instead will be set 20 years after the events of that film. The new movie will take storylines from the P.L. Travers’ books "focusing on the magical nanny’s continued adventures with the Banks family."
According to Entertainment Weekly, John DeLuca and Marc Platt will produce the film. DeLuca and Platt worked with Marshall on Into the Woods.
Marshall previously adapted the Broadway hit Chicago to the big screen. Chicago went on to take home that year's Best Picture award at the Academy Awards and had a box office take of $306 million worldwide.
