Ben Whishaw game for more Paddington movies

Ben Whishaw

English actor Ben Whishaw, who voices Peruvian bear Paddington, says he wants more films in the live-action franchise. Paddington 2, which released earlier this year, has been termed as one of the best live-action movies of 2018 by critics and audiences across the globe.

"I absolutely love doing Paddington. It takes a lot of time, and each time I've done it, it's taken the better part of a year. But¿ I would love to do another one," Whishaw told Entertainment Weekly. The 37-year-old actor, however, will only return to the duffel-coat-wearing bear, if writer-director Paul King is on board.

"I can't imagine what it would be like without him, so I think it's really down to whether he wants to or not," he said.
