‘Paddington in Peru’ Features a Cheeky Cameo From a Franchise Favorite
SPOILER ALERT: The third Paddington film sees the return of one of 'Paddington 2's' best-loved characters.
“Paddington in Peru,” which launches in the U.K. on Nov. 8 (it’s not out in the U.S. until Jan. 17), sees the bear head back to his homeland with his adopted family the Browns for an adventure involving Olivia Colman’s devious guitar-playing nun, Antonio Bandera’s mysterious ship captain and a missing Aunt Lucy. But right at the very end of the movie, back in London as the credits roll, Hugh Grant makes a triumphant return as the beloved antagonist and narcissistic failed actor Phoenix Buchanan, last seen fronting a spectacular, high-kicking song and dance number from prison. A wide-range of different — and celebrated — roles would follow, including “A Very English Scandal,” “The Undoing,” “The Gentleman,” “Wonka” and, most recently, a critically acclaimed move to horror in “Heretic.” Perhaps he thought he owed the bear?
