Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
During ABC's coverage of the 2018 Oscars, viewers were treated to the first trailer for "Mary Poppins Returns," sequel to the 1964 classic "Mary Poppins."
Emily Blunt takes on the titular role in this movie, which is set in London 25 years after Julie Andrews' original. Lin-Manuel Miranda plays lamplighter Jack -- apprentice to our old friend Bert -- and he presented during the Oscars before the clip aired on TV.
But before that point in the show, Disney posted the trailer online:
