Dick Van Dyke Back for 'Mary Poppins Returns,' Starring Emily Blunt/Lin-Manuel Miranda

Lin-Manuel Miranda is already playing a spiritual successor to Bert the Chimney Sweep in Mary Poppins Returns, the 20-years-later sequel to the 1964 Disney musical. But it turns out the 91-year-old comedic actor Dick Van Dyke will be back nonetheless.

The reveal comes from a Hollywood Reporter feature called "Creative Until You Die" (subtitle: "Retire? F--- That"), where Van Dyke reveals that he's signed on. (Article sample, just for a 2016 snapshot of the fellow: "When I arrived at Van Dyke's Malibu home, Dixieland jazz blared as the 91-year-old sashayed around his kitchen, hips swaying and teeth gleaming.")
