Emily Blunt reveals the scariest stunt of her career wasn't in Edge of Tomorrow but...

Emily Blunt, known for her remarkable performances in action-packed films, stunned audiences with her alien-butt-kicking role in 2014's Edge of Tomorrow, earning her a Critics Choice Award for Best Action Actress. However, when asked about the scariest stunt of her career, the 41-year-old actress surprisingly doesn't name the Tom Cruise hit.

"I did some wire stuff in Edge of Tomorrow, which was probably more dangerous because I took some spills," Blunt told PEOPLE.

Contrary to expectations, the entrance as Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins Returns was the most stressful for her. Blunt added that inheriting the iconic role from Julie Andrews in Disney's 2018 musical sequel required more bravery than any high-octane thriller.

"The character's entrance had to start in the clouds and come all the way down toward the ground while holding an umbrella aloft," she explained. "And I'm supposed to walk effortlessly into my close-up as if it's nothing."

She added, "I did three takes — and then I felt my tolerance go, 'Pfft!' And that was it. I was done."

Despite director Rob Marshall's desire for a fourth take, Blunt refused. "I did three takes and I could see Rob gearing up to do another one. I was like, 'Nope, no, no, no, I'm done.' It was over," she recalls.

Blunt's co-star Ryan Gosling praised the movie's "epic" moment. "Hell of an entrance, though," he said.

"Epic," agreed Blunt.

In The Fall Guy, Blunt plays Jody Moreno, the director of the movie-within-a-movie Metal Storm. Directed by David Leitch, the story is loosely based on the Lee Majors TV series and it follows Gosling's Colt Seavers as he tries to find Metal Storm's missing leading man (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson).

The Fall Guyis now in theatres.
