Movie fans old and young are celebrating on social media this afternoon, after hearing that filming for Paddington 3 will begin this summer.
It's been a painful six-year wait for fans of the animation bear, who have been eager to catch up on the next instalment following on from 2017's Paddington 2 - and the giveaway title of the movie; Paddington in Peru suggests that little old Paddy will return to his country of birth for more wacky on-screen antics.
The team are said to be shooting both in Peru and London from July 24, in the first on-screen appearance for Michael Bond's character since the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee last June..
