Paddington in Peru release: Is there a release date?

Paddington 3 will be released on January 17, 2025, in North America, and November 8, 2024, in the U.K.

The news broke in April 2023 that the filming of Paddington in Peru is set to commence on July 24 of the same year, implying a projected release date in 2024. Given that the initial two Paddington films were premiered in November 2014 and November 2017 respectively, it was foreseeable that the movie would adhere to a November release pattern.

Paddington 3 cast: Who is starring in the movie?

Many of the major Paddington players are likely to be back. Currently, the cast list includes but is not limited to:

The casting decision to replace Sally Hawkins with Emily Mortimer as Mrs. Brown is a significant loss for the production. Hawkins has chosen to step down from the role, but expressed her confidence in Mortimer's talent and referred to her as truly wonderful and extraordinarily special, making her an excellent choice for the role.

Imelda Staunton and Michael Gambon are expected to reprise their roles as Aunt Lucy and Uncle Pastuzo, respectively. We may also see familiar faces from Windsor Gardens, such as Sanjeev Bhaskar, Ben Miller, Jessica Hynes, and Peter Capaldi.

Jim Broadbent has the opportunity to return to the role of Mr. Gruber in the antique shop, joined by Tobago and d'Lime, the musical act that has been featured in both Paddington films thus far.

Behind the scenes, director Paul King is being replaced by Dougal Wilson. However, King remains involved as an executive producer and co-writer, along with Simon Farnaby and Mark Burton. Burton also contributed to the screenplay, alongside Jon Foster and James Lamont.
