Question: is bert in mary poppins returns?
Answer: In Mary Poppins Returns, the whereabouts of Van Dyke's chimney sweep Bert are explained away quite early on as “traveling the world, off to parts unknown.” However, the same cannot be said for the Dawes family, and in Marshall's sequel, Van Dyke plays banker Mr. Dawes Jr., whose father he played in the 1964 film.
