Surprising Choices: Julie Andrews Says No to 'Mary Poppins Returns'
In a world where Dame Julie Andrews agrees to appear in Aquaman but reportedly declines a role in the much-anticipated Mary Poppins Returns, we find ourselves scratching our heads. Yes, it's a strange and unexpected twist, but that's the entertainment industry for you. Let’s dive into why the legendary star decided to take this surprising path.
While her co-star from the original Mary Poppins, Dick Van Dyke, is set to reprise his role in the sequel, reports from the Daily Mail suggest Julie Andrews won't be making an appearance. A Disney insider shares, “Everyone wanted Julie on board because she IS Mary Poppins. Even with the promise of a million-dollar offer on the table for a cameo, she turned down all offers. Money wasn't a motivator for her; she just wasn't interested in appearing, regardless of the financial incentive.”
