He played with the queen, now Paddington is getting ready for movie 3
Paddington Bear played a small part at the heart of the Queen’s farewell to the nation this week, with stuffed animals (and marmalade sandwiches) being left in the Royal Parks; and the BBC’s Paddington 2 screening on Monday.
And the sweet little bear – who got his first outing in 1958 – will return. The next installment, Paddington In Peru, will begin filming in London – and Peru – in 2023.
Making a comeback: Paddington Bear, who first hit the road in 1958, returns. The next episode, Paddington In Peru, will begin filming in London – and Peru in 2023
I hear the usual suspects are all on board: Ben Whishaw as the bear, Hugh Bonneville and Sally Hawkins as Mr and Mrs Brown, Julie Walters as Mrs Bird and Jim Broadbent as Mr Gruber. However, they have not received any scripts yet.
Details are shrouded in secrecy, although it was written by Paul King, who directed the first two films.
This time, it’s new director Dougal Wilson pulling our hearts (his previous work includes some of John Lewis’s Christmas adverts).

Paddington In Peru, will begin filming in London – and Peru – in 2023, after the bear took on a part to bid farewell to the Queen during June’s jubilee celebrations.
Michael Bond, author of the Paddington books, sent his bear back to Darkest Peru — in 1964, when he took a trip to celebrate his great-aunt Lucy’s 100th birthday (an event featured in Paddington 2).
On his way home by boat, Paddington dreams that he is being chased by a giant cookie and has to take refuge with the ship’s doctor.
Whatever the story of the film, the South American setting offers the chance to see Paddington – a fish out of water in London – also back home in Peru as a fish out of water.
And there’s an extended family of bear cousins that we all need to get to know.
A StudioCanal spokesperson said it was too early to share official news about Paddington 3.
