The director even hinted that we may see more than just one addition to the hit film: “Listen, how many Star Wars films have there been, you know what I mean? Or James Bond films. If there’s a great character and story to tell, why not?”

The news comes after Mary Poppins Returns made a whopping $260 million since its release.
