 * It hasn't been revealed. They might reveal it when the movie is closer to coming out or during the film or they might never reveal it because they don't consider how she died to be important. JDDJS (talk) 21:26, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Information on the possible existence of the film
Is there any information on how Walt Disney Pictures managed to secure the rights to producing the sequel? After the original author's disappointment with the original Mary Poppins film, P.L. Travers supposedly wrote on her last will that never again will any American production studio is ever going to adapt any of her books.(http://www.theqandapodcast.com/2013/12/saving-mr-banks-q.html) So, how in the world is Disney making a sequel now?

 * There is no information at all. That's the same question I was wondering about too.
 * Either they will reveal what happened at D23 Expo (11 days from now in Anaheim), or they will save it for the usual round of publicity interviews right before the film's premiere (when some journalist is likely to ask that question). --Coolcaesar (talk) 04:51, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Animation
There are no animated parts produced / planned for the sequel? 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 11:57, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * As of now, I have not seen any references mentioning any animation. If you find any reliable sources saying that there will be animation in it, you can add it to the article. JDDJS (talk) 18:20, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * There probably won't be any, but as they were a big, eye-catching part of both the original film, and its spiritual sequel Bedknobs and Broomsticks, it would have been an interesting throwback. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 22:43, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The new September trailer confirms there is in fact a new traditional animation segment in the film! Hope(N Forever) (talk) 21:08, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Release date
Hold on! Wasn't Mary Poppins Returns' actual date December 25th? INB4EDITS (talk) 00:39, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I changed it back to the 25th, to match the source cited. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 03:13, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Okay, but, "Wasn't Mary Poppins Returns' actual date December 25th" is what i'm asking. INB4EDITS (talk) 23:04, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It was, but it changed to December 19. Sandrobost (talk) 23:44, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Plot
The plot seems rather incomplete and it looks as thouhg it was written in a messy way. Could someone fix it?

Ending Plot (spoilers of course)
So the resolution in the bank written in the plot isn't true "Dawes tells Michael that he knew his father and agreed that he made some good investments, so the shares will be enough to pay off the loan"

Basically Michael had originally put his tupons from the first movie in the bank all those years ago, and over the years the money has garnered enough interest to pay off the loan, meaning Michael kept the shares for his family (so the shares were never used in the first place to pay off the loan) Kranitoko (talk) 23:04, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Age
The original film was set in 1910, so MP should be in her 50s when this is set in the mid-1930s. Is staying youthful a magic power of hers? Jim Michael (talk) 01:53, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * ok so that means she was in her 30s in the OG but in that film Ber sings about Marry visting him as a kid so i gusee she can not age. Fanoflionking

Dolby Theatre
The Dolby Theatre is not a cinema. Is this correct venue for the premiere, or do we mean the Chinese Theatre next door where premieres are traditionally hosted? 50.66.121.20 (talk) 00:36, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

"Canceled sequel" vs "Potential sequel" or "Possible sequel"
[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mary_Poppins_Returns&diff=937448064&oldid=937447868 I just reverted an edit that changed the heading discussing a possible future sequel from "Possible sequel" to "Canceled sequel." After that, I looked at the recent page history and saw that the wording has gone back and forth a few times this past month.

As I noted in my edit summary, I prefer the terms "potential" or "possible" when describing this topic because using the term "canceled" implies that the sequel had been previously confirmed or greenlit, and that the studio subsequently canceled its development, which does not seem to be the case here. If one of the other users that prefers the term "canceled" would like to explain why they prefer that term, please do so here. Thanks. Aoi (青い) (talk) 02:44, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

American vs. American-British (in introductory sentence)
I changed American to American-British in the opening sentence, because the source material is British, as is the setting, the filming location, and most of the cast.

My edit was reversed twice (the second time when I provided IMDb as a source).

The reason I'm putting this out here is that I simply believe American-British is much more appropriate than American.

If there is a rule that the movie is always given the nationality of the production company—and this nationality only—unless a good source is provided that says to the contrary, perhaps someone who agrees with me could find a good source. Otherwise, perhaps some of the people active on this article could consider the merits of my argument.

Note that the 'nationality' (or 'country of origin') of a movie is very often 'unclear' and requires a judgement to be made on a case by case basis. Over-relying on the country in which the production company is based is going to lead to misleading or incomplete entries. lukeuser (talk) 12:38, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
