Dame Angela Lansbury is to join the cast of a Mary Poppins sequel, it has emerged.
The 91-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down as she joins Emily Blunt, out actor Ben Whishaw and Meryl Streep in Mary Poppins Returns.
Drawing on the other books in the Mary Poppins series by PL Travers, the new story sees the magical nanny return to the Banks family during the Depression where Jane and Michael have grown up.
With children of his own, Mary has to show Michael and his children how to rediscover the fun in life.
Dame Angela, who has appeared in a number of Disney sing-alongs, including Bedknobs and Broomsticks, will play the Balloon Lady and no doubt have a few chances to blast a note or two.
