In this captivating sequel, Paddington embarks on his journey with the Brown family—now led by Emily Mortimer, who takes over the role of Mrs. Brown. As they venture into the lush jungles of Peru, the lovable bear and his adoptive family encounter a series of wacky mishaps and discover the myth of El Dorado. Together, they meet an eccentric ship captain, masterminded by Antonio Banderas, and an unexpected ally in Olivia Colman, who plays a musical nun.

“Paddington in Peru” goes beyond its comedic roots and transforms into an exciting parody of an Indiana Jones adventure. With slapstick pratfalls and a search for long-lost treasure, the film embraces the spirit of adventure and offers a heartfelt narrative that is both engaging and entertaining.

In conjunction with this charming narrative, the film touches on themes of family, loyalty, and the importance of finding one’s identity amidst the chaos of adventure. Director Dougal Wilson has expertly crafted a story that appeals to both children and adults, maintaining a balance of humor and gravity throughout the film.

“Paddington is a character that resonates with audiences around the world due to his innate kindness and unyielding spirit,” said Wilson in a statement. “This adventure is not just about finding Aunt Lucy; it’s also about the journey of self-discovery and the bonds that hold us together as a family.”

The film’s first trailer has already sparked excitement among fans, showcasing scenes of breathtaking Peruvian landscapes, heartwarming moments, and the comedic misadventures of Paddington as he navigates the unfamiliar terrain.
