With the discussion on Epcot's attraction approach shifting from the real becomes fantastic and the fantastic becomes real (basically blending the approach with Magic Kingdom) it's interesting to see where Mary Poppins falls. One could argue that Mary Poppins as a movie is the ultimate "Real becomes Fantastic" concept, but I'm not sure what tie to British culture a Mary Poppins ride would have.

Has a Mary Poppins ride actually been confirmed?

Nope
By Disney? No.
By our insiders? Yes. And just now, as a dark ride.
But remember, Disney has canceled things they've announce and even started working on. So...

I’m assuming it will be in line with the new movie since they went that route with Star Wars. I will wait till the movie comes out to form an opinion. Emily Blunt has some guts taking on a beloved character and making it her own.

And with a much, much higher rate of success than any other site.
D23 last year was a case in point. Not sure there was anything announced that hadn't had a discussion on here for months before. Heck, they even used the gondola map drawn up and posted here by "our" guys!

Wasn’t the theater a surprise?

Yeah, I would say that was the one announcement that came out of nowhere(although I hadn’t heard anything about the Riviera resort either unless I missed it). Ironically, it’s the only one rumored to be canceled.

No, they didn't use a fan's map for the gondola. The map they showed at D23 had an artist's rendering of what the Riviera plat was going to look like, which was unknown to us at the time.

That it was to be on Main Street was a surprise, but there had been talk shortly beforehand if a “Broadway-Style” Theater coming to MK, though if I recall it was being pegged by some for Frontierland.

Moving it from Frontierland caught some by surprise.

The scary thing about the theater cancellation is that it now may yet reappear as a Frontierland destruction project...

Sorry, but a Mary Poppins IP attraction is a terrible choice for this pavilion. Brave IMO was a far better choice. There is nothing in this area that represents my country, apart from the odd bit of Tartan. I suppose Welsh and Irish visitors feel the same.
