The third Paddington movie is here and, while a lot of the old band is back together, you may notice that Sally Hawkins’ Mary Brown has been recast with Emily Mortimer this time around.
Mortimer more than honors Sally Hawkins’ work while also putting her own stamp on the role of Mary Brown.
Emily Mortimer was worried she’d be the “imposter” on the set of Paddington In Peru after Hawkins originated the role in 2014’s Paddington and its 2017 sequel.
Mortimer wasn’t the only new member of the team either. While it’s never exactly great to see an actor be replaced by another, especially when we’re talking about Sally Hawkins, Emily Mortimer fit right into the cast and brought her own wit and charm to Mary Brown.
