Paul King’s “Paddington 2” was the critical surprise hit of 2018 — it garnered a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, with only two of the 253 reviews submitted being negative. King is not back for the third one (“Paddington in Peru”) which, I’m being told, has just wrapped production. Dougal Wilson replaces King in the Director’s chair as he’s set to tackle the whimsically adorable bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw). These films are wonderful family entertainment. Expect the third film to be released in the summer of 2024.
