Sony Pictures has released yet another trailer (StudioCanal dropped one earlier this month) for Paddington in Peru, as if we will somehow forget about the beloved marmalade sandwich-eating bear. The first two films have combined for over $500M and have achieved universal acclaim for making everyone happy who watches them. So just chill out, Sony. We’ll be there on January 17th 2025.
Ben Whishaw returns as the voice of Paddington, who loves his marmalade sandwiches almost as much as he loves the Brown Family. In the newly released teaser, we see Paddington swept up in a new adventure in Peru when he decides to return home for a family visit.
Also in the cast are Hugh Bonneville, Emily Mortimer, Antonio Banderas, Olivia Colman, Julie Walters, Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, Carla Tous, and Jim Broadbent.
So what’s different this time? Dougal Wilson takes over as director, following two masterful efforts by Paul King. Following a career mostly in videos and commercials, Wilson will be making his feature film debut and he’s got big shoes to fill.
SYNOPSIS: PADDINGTON IN PERU brings Paddington’s story to Peru as he returns to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears. With the Brown Family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey through the Amazon rainforest and up to the mountain peaks of Peru.
