Paddington 3 is set to start filming early next year. Bosses at StudioCanal have announced that the third instalment of the live-action and animated film series - which is based on Michael Bond's Paddington Bear character - will start shooting in the second quarter of 2022. During the Cannes Film Festival, the studio's chief executive officer, Anna Marsh, shared: "Our beloved bear is truly part of the family." The highly anticipated sequel - which follows 2014's Paddington and 2017's Paddington 2 - will have a story by Paul King, Simon Farnaby, and Mark Burton, and a screenplay penned by James Lamont, Jon Foster, and Burton.
