In an interview, Dougal Wilson, the director of Paddington in Peru, expressed both fear and flattery at taking on such a beloved franchise. The film relocates the beloved bear's adventures to Peru, incorporating an origin story where Paddington seeks his Aunt Lucy while finding his ancestral roots. The film features returning cast members like Ben Whishaw as Paddington and introduces Olivia Colman as a new character. The mid-credits reveal a surprise cameo by Phoenix Buchanan, adding a comedic twist to the narrative, which had been kept secret until release.
"When I was asked to do the film, I was very flattered to be approached, but I was utterly terrified, as only a fool would take on the third film of a franchise, right?"
"As you know, I'm shortly to be released and I wonder ... red cape, flaxen wig, lights: Phoenix Buchanan is Goldilocks! Now, who wants to be Daddy bear?"
