Actor Dick Van Dyke has confirmed that he will be appearing in "Mary Poppins Returns."
Van Dyke appeared in the original film as Bert, the optimistic chimney sweep, opposite Julie Andrews as the eponymous Mary Poppins, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Directed by Rob Marshall, "Mary Poppins Returns" will open in theaters on December 25, 2018.
