What is the plot of Paddington in Peru?

Paddington sets out on a mission to find and rescue his Aunt Lucy after learning she has gone missing in Peru. With the help of his adoptive family, the Browns, they embark on a journey like never before, navigating the Amazon jungle in search of Paddington’s last remaining relative. 

In the middle of the search, they meet a treasure hunter played by Antonia Banderas, who has a selfish mission of his own.  As their search continues, Paddington the Bear and the Browns discover that Aunt Lucy’s disappearance is not what it seems and there are external forces setting a trap for them. 

Paddington 3 is directed by Dougal Wilson from a screenplay written by Mark Burton, Jon Foster, and James Lamont. It is based on Michael Bond’s character Paddington Bear with Rosie Alison producing. 

The cast of Paddington 3 combines new and familiar faces, including Hugh Bonneville as Henry Brown, Madeleine Harris as Judy Brown, and Samuel Joslin as Jonathan Brown, who are all reprising their roles from the first and second films. Sally Hawkins, however, won’t be returning as Mary Brown.
