Paddington
Ben Whishaw does n’t know when or ifPaddington 3will be made , but he ’s already sealed who he wants in the director ’s chair . The UK histrion - who is also well - known for his portrayal of Q in the Daniel CraigJames Bondfilms - has sound the soft - mannered short bear for two successful films , which have universally impressed critics and perform solidly at the global box office . However despite this , confirmation of a 2d continuation is yet to be announced .
While Paddington was not originally a intimate brute in the US , he has always been a much - loved child ’s quality and the subject of a fad TV animated serial in the UK . He first appeared in the bookA Bear call in Paddingtonin 1958 , which was written by British author Michael Bond , and has been the subject field of batch of merchandising and entertainment media ever since . The first unrecorded - actionPaddingtonfilm was released in 2014 and had the rain - coated bear ineluctably realized with CGI . Colin Firth ( Kingsman : The Golden Circle ) was originally due to voice the title character , but the studio eventually swapped him out for Whishaw ’s vocals , which captured his naïve innocence and niceness dead . Directed by Paul King , a continuation presently follow andPaddington 2was bring out to great critical acclaim last year .
With no current news or update aboutPaddington 3 , Whishaw spoke toTHRabout his thoughts on the possibility of another sequel and who he wants to make it ;
“ I would be up for one , but I think Paul King , who is the writer and the director and implemental in making those movie what they were , I recollect he quite justifiedly require a break … It ’s a tremendous amount of work that go into those film , so I ’m not sure if it will befall . Or , if it does , I ’m not sure when it will happen … I ca n’t imagine doing it without Paul . For me , he ’s the picture show . He ’s a flake like Paddington Bear himself , I dunno if I could do it without him "
King is presently in talks aboutfilming a new Willy Wonka movie , and establish the amount of preparation required there ’s unlikely to be news about a third Paddington film anytime soon . But the operation of the previous two offerings make it almost inevitable that one will occur eventually . Neither film broke the global box office , but did perform solidly withPaddingtonearning $ 268 yard from a $ 55 metre budget , andPaddington 2scoring a $ 225 MB gross . Paddington 2also make some phenomenal critical reviews and becamethe best go over film ever on RT , out - execute bothToy Story 3andLadybirdfor that laurels .
The franchise attracted some quality actors to the films as well with Sally Hawkins ( The Shape of Water ) and Hugh Bonneville ( Downton Abbey ) in both , along with high-pitched - profile baddie act by Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant . The last film was unfortunately caught up in thefallout from the Weinstein Company , which complicated distribution . But both picture crossed that unmanageable billet by appeal to adults and kid alike , so it ’s very potential indeed that we will see more misadventures of the polite little bear from darkest Peru at some percentage point . And hopefully both Whishaw and King will be necessitate . We ’ll play you more updates aboutPaddington 3as they happen .
