Olivia Colman and Antonio Banderas star in trailer for 'Paddington in Peru'
The third installment of the hit CG and live-action "Paddington" movie series now has a trailer, and the promo for "Paddington in Peru" shows off some new friends for the cuddly bear in the red hat.
Once again, "Skyfall" actor Ben Whishaw voices Paddington, who's off to Peru with his adopted family, the Browns, to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who currently resides at the Home for Retired Bears. That's where he meets The Reverend Mother, played by Oscar and Emmy winner Olivia Colman, who runs the facility.

When the Browns come knocking, however, Aunt Lucy's not home. "I'm afraid she's set off on some sort of quest deep in the jungle, and we have no idea where she is," Colman's Reverend Mother informs Paddington.
"Aunt Lucy found me when I was a cub, and now I have to find her," he replies.
