Exclusive Preview: Paddington in Peru
A newly released image from the upcoming Paddington in Peru offers fans an intriguing glimpse into this eagerly anticipated sequel. This film marks the third installment in the beloved series inspired by Michael Bond’s timeless children’s literature. The narrative follows the lovable bear Paddington (voiced by Ben Whishaw) as he embarks on a heartfelt journey to his Aunt Lucy’s (Imelda Staunton) homeland of Peru. However, the plot thickens when Paddington discovers that his dear aunt has mysteriously gone missing.
The cast sees the return of familiar faces including Hugh Bonneville, Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, Julie Walters, and Jim Broadbent, complemented by fresh talents like Olivia Colman, Antonio Banderas, and Emily Mortimer, who steps in for Sally Hawkins as Mary Brown.

The image subtly suggests that the stakes, while high, might not be as dire as they initially appear, due to the tidiness of Aunt Lucy’s bed—an indication that her departure was perhaps planned. This subtle hint enhances the film’s tone, promising an adventure that remains gentle and endearing, akin to its predecessors, even as it features larger-than-life action set against the vibrant backdrop of Peru, a stark contrast to the tranquil London setting of earlier installments.
Paddington, whose name derives from Paddington Station, where he was first discovered by his adoptive family, embarks on this journey not just for adventure but also driven by heartfelt emotions. Aunt Lucy, though not frequently seen on screen, serves as the moral compass for Paddington and profoundly impacts his development during his time in England. Her lifelong dream to visit London resonates deeply with the character, culminating in the touching conclusion of Paddington 2.
