It looks like we’ll be seeing Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt in another Disney movie together, TheWrap has learned.

Streep is in early negotiations to joinย Blunt and Lin Manuel-Miranda inย “Mary Poppins Returns.”

The film would not only reunite theย “Into the Woods” co-stars but is also putting them back with the movie musical’s director Rob Marshall and producer Marc Platt.

Disney has slated the follow up toย the 1964 classicย for a Christmas Day 2018 release.

As TheWrap previously reported, Blunt will star as Poppins and will be joined by “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, who will play a new character — streetlamp lighter Jack.
