Blunt, 30, is the latest star to join the cast of the movie musical, portraying the baker's wife opposite Streep as the witch, reported Contactmusic.
"I can't believe I'm playing in two movies with Meryl where she's playing someone who's horrible to me. I'm so excited," she said.

'Into The Woods', which begins filming in London this autumn, will also feature Johnny Depp as the wolf and British comedian James Corden as the baker.
