I don’t think Paul King will direct the third. He did the first two, he and I are working on another project together… He’s very special, Paul. We’re developing a third Paddington. We haven’t got a script yet, we’ve got a treatment which we’re still working on…Paul is involved in it, I wanted him to be involved in it because I think he’s such a significant voice, but I don’t think he’ll direct it. He worked on the idea… he comes up with the idea with Simon Farnaby and Mark Burton and then they develop it and come back for more, back and forth, and then it’ll get written and Paul will come in and stir it up a little bit. But he’s an incredible collaborator, Paul. Very positive, very supportive.

Thanks to Paul King, the first two Paddington movies were both great successes. The made a combined total of $494 million worldwide. Paddington currently holds a 98 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and part 2 has a stunning 100 percent critic rating.
