Julie Andrews has been added to the cast of Tooth Fairy, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The Mary Poppins star will join Dwayne Johnson, Ashley Judd, The Office co-creator Stephen Merchant and skateboarder Ryan Sheckler in Fox's family comedy.

The film revolves around a hockey player (Johnson) who becomes a real-life tooth fairy. Judd will play the eponymous character's girlfriend, while Andrews's role is that of a Tooth Fairy Department supervisor.

Merchant has been cast as awkward tooth fairy Tracy, while Sheckler plays a hockey rival to Johnson's character.

Tooth Fairy begins production next month in Vancouver, with TV veteran Michael Lembeck helming a script by Lowell Ganz, Babaloo Mandel, Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia.
