Variety reported Whishaw as in talks to take the role of one of the two children Mary Poppins helped nurture as children.
The events of Mary Poppins Returns would see Mary returning to Michael, and his sister Jane, “following a personal loss.”
Brace yourselves, as Michael Banks is all grown up, and he might end up looking a lot like Ben Whishaw.
Ben Whishaw is no stranger to family films, what with his role as the titular bear in Paddington managing to be a surprise hit at last year’s box office.
