“Paddington in Peru” is here.
The third installment of the franchise based on the character Paddington Bear and created by Michael Bond is in theaters now. This time, the lovable bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw) and his family, led by Hugh Bonneville and Emily Mortimer (taking over for Sally Hawkins) travel deep into the jungles of Peru. That’s where they fend off duplicitous nuns and a riverboat captain with secrets (played deliciously by Antonio Banderas).
TheWrap spoke to Bonneville and Mortimer about what it was like embarking on the latest adventure in the beloved franchise, whether Mortimer was a fan of the series before signing up and if Bonneville thought, while making the first film, that he’d still be here all these years later.
