Emily Blunt struggled with the dancing scenes in 'Mary Poppins Returns'. 

The 35-year-old actress has confessed the moves were a "daunting prospect" for her playing the titular magical nanny in Disney's upcoming sequel to 1964 classic 'Mary Poppins', and although she's proud of her performance she accepts that "no one is going to outdo" the film's original lead, Dame Julie Andrews. 

When asked what the most challenging thing about the iconic role is, she told Collider: "The dancing, probably. I feel that I just try to approach her as I would any other character and not be caught up in the white noise of, 'Oh my God, you are Mary Poppins.'

"I have not watched the original since I saw it as a child, because I ... no one is going to outdo Julie Andrews. This is just going to be my version her. The dancing has been the most daunting prospect for me." 

The 'A Quiet Place' star "took great comfort" in the original flick growing up and admitted that "it's very surreal" to be portraying such a beloved and iconic character in pop culture.
