A new trailer for the upcoming Disney movie “Mary Poppins Returns” has just been released, and fans were ecstatic to see a very familiar face making an appearance in it.
The film is a sequel to the classic 1964 movie “Mary Poppins,” which starred Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. In the new movie, Emily Blunt will be playing the role of the legendary Mary Poppins, who returns to London years after the original to once again help the now-grown up Banks children.
While the trailer is sure to make all of us who loved the original very excited, the best part of it is hands down the moment that it is revealed that Van Dyke will be appearing in it! Yes, 54 years after he played Bert in the original, Van Dyke will be making an appearance in the sequel!
Fans were quick to point out that Van Dyke looks exactly the same as when he played the old banker’s son, which was his other role in the original movie. Back then, he used prosthetics to look older, and the way he looks today shows just how accurate those prosthetics were!
Dick Van Dyke will be playing the exact same role in #marypoppinsreturns that he played in the original Mary Poppins in 1964 except he doesnt need prosthetics now. surreal pic.twitter.com/Qyr5yZEy6f

It’s quite something to see Van Dyke appearing in a “Mary Poppins” movie once again at the age of 92!
