Instead of flying in an umbrella to London, Julie Andrews will travel to Atlantis this Christmas, lending her voice to Arther Curry's quest in "Aquaman".
Andrews plays a role of surprise in Warner Bros.'s new superhero movie, expressing the mythical creature Karathen, an underwater creature holding the key to Arthur Curry's voyage to unite the Atlantean and surface worlds, a spokesman for the studio at TheWrap.
"We wanted the Karathen to have the voice of a classic British actress, even if it was slightly digitally altered," said "Aquaman" producer Peter Safran, at Entertainment Weekly, who was reporting Andrews' cameo for the first time. . "Who knew that Aquaman would have the real Mary Poppins this Christmas?"

Andrews should play a key role in the film.
The 83-year-old actress has not appeared on the screen in a film for nearly 10 years, but has lent her voice to several characters over the years, including "Despicable Me 3" and the movies "Shrek."
Her role in "Aquaman", starring Jason Mamoa, Amber Heard and Nicole Kidman, will come up against Disney's "Mary Poppins Returns," starring Emily Blunt and Lin Manuel-Miranda.
"Aquaman", who resumes after the events of "Justice League", sees Arthur Curry (Mamoa) learn that he is the heir to the throne of the submarine kingdom of Atlantis. He discovers that he must take a step forward to lead his people and become a hero.
The film will be released in theaters on December 21st.
