Aquaman: Julie Andrews has a secret role in the movie DC

Aquaman Producer Peter Safran confirmed that Julie Andrews plays a small (but important) role in the film. Coincidentally, DC's superhero movie will hit theaters two days after Disney Mary Poppins is back – a sequel to 1964 Mary Poppins movie musical in which Andrews played.

The first DC Extended Universe movie since Justice League, Aquaman follows Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) as he teams up with the submarine warrior Mera (Amber Heard) to prevent his half-brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) from starting a war with those who remain on the mainland. AquamanThe support troupe is filled with actors of seasoned characters, including Nicole Kidman, mother of Arthur Atlanna (Queen of Atlantis), Dolph Lundgren, father of Mera, King Nereus (the Xebel's chief), and Willem Dafoe, Arthur's mentor, Nuidis Vulko.

As reported exclusively by EW, Andrews costars in Aquaman as the voice of the Karathen: a mythical underwater creature that helps Arthurs in his quest to become the king of Atlantis and restore peace between the seven underwater kingdoms and the surface world. Safran confirmed the news to EW and said the following about the decision to launch Andrews:

"We wanted Karathen to have the voice of a classic British actress, even if it was slightly digitally altered. And when we found out that Julie was interested, available and excited to do so, throwing it was a no-brainer. "

Andrews won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Mary Poppins, but refused to appear in Mary Poppins is back fearing that his presence would detract from the early attention of Emily Blunt as a practically perfect nanny in the sequel. In addition, with respect to his film roles, Andrews has mostly worked on voice since his turn against Dwayne Johnson in 2010. The little smile. However, the beloved Hollywood icon returned to the big screen last year for Netflix's educational TV show Julie's Greenroom (which she also co-created), and seems to want and be ready to come back in a movie, if that's the right role.

At first glance, the role of Andrews in Aquaman will be voiceover only. Nevertheless, it will undoubtedly bring the class and gravity that the producers of the film have sought for Karathen. Likewise, his role will be another Easter egg that fans should watch for (or rather keep their ears wide open) in the director James Wan's adventure. And as to the fact that Aquaman and Mary Poppins is back will be competing at the box office: Safran confirmed that it was a fun coincidence and jokingly told EW "Who knew that Aquaman would have the real Mary Poppins this Christmas?"
