Mr. Van Dyke says that the film will be set 20 years after the original movie with the children all grown up. He will play the son of Mr. Dawes' son  who was a greedy banker in the original movie. In the original movie Mr. Van Dyke played Bert, the chimney sweep and Mr. Dawes Senior, one of the greedy bankers in the original film. 

This new Mary Poppins movie will come out in 2018. Hopefully, it will bring back memories of the original film and create new memories for all the fans of Mary Poppins.
