Dick Van Dyke, 92, Defies Time: Looks Just Like He Did in ‘Mary Poppins’ 54 Years Later!
The trailer for Mary Poppins Returns is finally here -- and a special appearance has people talking
The trailer for Mary Poppins Returns is finally here — and a special appearance has fans of the original classic talking.
Disney released the first full-length trailer for the highly-anticipated sequel on Monday, giving fans a real glimpse of Emily Blunt’s take on the flying nanny who rescues the Banks children. The over two-minute clip also shows off Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Cockney accent for the first time, as well as other favorites like Meryl Streep and Colin Firth in their roles.
But the real star of the trailer is 92-year-old Dick Van Dyke, who makes his triumphant return to the story disguised as Mr. Dawes Sr. The iconic actor played Mr. Dawes Sr. in the first film using prosthetics to age himself, but he didn’t need any help this time around.
Fans are amazed and drew comparisons between the character’s two appearances on Twitter, which show Van Dyke looking exactly the same 54 years after he starred opposite Julie Andrews in the original.
