Dick Van Dyke, who famously starred alongside Julie Andrew in the 1964 hit Mary Poppins, will appear in Mary Poppins Returns, a sequel more than five decades in the making.
This time around, he will not be playing Bert to Emily Blunt's Mary Poppins, instead playing the son of a minor character that he played in the original.
In the 2013 film Saving Mr Banks, Tom Hanks portrayed Walt Disney as the movie mogul labored to convince P.L. Travers, the author of Mary Poppins, to let him adapt her series of novels into the now-classic musical.
Marry Poppins Returns is scheduled to premiere on December 25, 2018.
