After explore England for two whole movie , Paddington Bear is ultimately point back to his motherland of Peru for the franchise ’s third instalment , aptly namedPaddington in Peruand premiere in the UK on November 8 . ( It ’s notslatedto hit U.S. dramatics until January 17 , 2025 . )
To leave the commonwealth Paddington needed a passport , so producers request one from the UK ’s Home Office — a phoney one , that is , just for utilization as a airplane propeller .
“ We publish to the Home Office , enquire if we could get a replication , and they really issue Paddington with an official passport — there ’s only one of these , ” co - producer Rob Silva toldRadio Times . “ You would n’t think the Home Office would have a sense of liquid body substance , but under prescribed observation , they ’ve just listed him as Bear . ”
The motion-picture show will follow Paddington and his whole adoptive family , the Browns ( including housekeeper Mrs. Bird , played by Julie Walters ) , as they embark on a quest through the Amazon to settle his miss Aunt Lucy . The cast needed real passports , too , since they spent two months shooting on locating in Peru and Colombia ( though Ben Whishaw , who vocalise Paddington , recorded all of his audio in London ) .
Paddington did n’t alwayshail from Peru . In other draught , writer Michael Bond had him originating in Africa — before Bond ’s agent told him that Africa is n’t home to any bears . Peru , meanwhile , plays boniface to theAndean bear(a.k.a . the spectacled bear ) , South America ’s only bear coinage . Ergo , Paddington is a monocled bear . And while his real - life counterparts do n’t fare upon marmalade in the wilderness , they ’d believably like it : Andean bearsare big fan of yield .
