Call me nuts but it would be awesome to see Ben Whishaw reprise his role as Paddington again and see him in a more rated R vibe. Seeing him f*** up the bad guys would be SICK! Just portraying an older Paddington as some badass would be amazing, nostalgic, and just down right wholesome!
Maybe a little dash of John Wick mixed in with a bit of Saw? Something not crazy dark but darker than the initial movies? Jeez I think this would be frickin' awesome! I think this is something crazy ole' Ben Whishaw would find comical at first but given some thought, would be super down to do.
Could you imagine seeing a movie like this directed by James Gunn or Zach Snyder? Definitely a movie with a bit of blood and a realistic fight scene. Not to make it a martial arts movie but at least one fight scene of realistic substance would be incredible.
Would love to see Millicent Clyde and Hugh Grant again.
Maybe a come back with the first two villains getting out of prison and pissed, wanting to take revenge on Paddington, and this time they bring more friends to pin Padding ton and fight off his bear traps. Not sure if London or Peru is more appropriate but I would take whichever film location!
I post this because I can't believe they decided to Announce a NEW Paddington this year. One that looks worse than the masterpiece of Bearkino that is Paddington 2. Now my idea sounds completely insane and I will be the first one to admit that, but I would take this any day of the would over a half-a** sequel out to taint a pleasant childhood memory of mine. Seriously I don't know how to reach out to Ben Whishaw but this is the childhood movie our nostalgic minds need!

A prolific star of stage, screen, and television, Ben Whishaw was cast as the Q of the Daniel Craig era (and hopefully will continue in the role afterwards). Of course, thanks to Desmond Llewelyn's decades-spanning run as Q, most people automatically perceive the character as an older gentleman who invents things like exploding pens and laser-firing wristwatches. Whishaw's Q, however, as a techno wunderkind and expert computer hacker, is cast more in the mold of the grounded, twenty-first century Bond. That isn't to say that fun with toys is completely off the table, though, as the exploding watch and loaded Aston Martin in Spectre go to show.
Funnily enough, Whishaw started his film career with Daniel Craig, acting alongside the future James Bond in WWI drama The Trench, psychological thriller Enduring Love, and gangster film Layer Cake. In 2005 he played rock star Keith Richards in Brian Jones biopic Stoned, and in 2006 he played the lead in Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. Leading up to Skyfall, he appeared in I'm Not There, Brideshead Revisited, The International (starring Clive Owen and Naomi Watts), and Bright Star (as poet John Keats).
Whishaw's work with the Bond franchise certainly hasn't put a crimp in the rest of his work. Since debuting as Q, he's appeared in Cloud Atlas and The Danish Girl, and voiced the titular bear in Paddington and its sequel. He played Herman Melville in In the Heart of the Sea, Michael Banks in Mary Poppins Returns, and Uriah Heep in The Personal History of David Copperfield.
Whishaw has also worked extensively in the world of British television, starring in shows like Nathan Barley, Criminal Justice, The Hour, and London Spy. He also reprises his voice role in the animated series The Adventures of Paddington.
His Richard II was absolutely amazing. Really made you feel for him around when he was giving over his crown. He made it feel very natural, but didn't lose any of the theatricality either.
He's is the best part of season 4. Dude has knocked it out of the park with this character, and the twister scene was just epic. Left me breathless. Kudos to both him and Hawley.
Him, Glynn Turman, probably Jessie Buckley, as well... they're all KILLIN' it. And he well and truly killed it this episode.
He outacted a goddamned TORNADO. Give the man an Emmy.
While rewatching Skyfall I’m trying to consider Ben Whishaw (who plays Q) for a DCEU role. I’m thinking Riddler (opposite Batfleck or whoever replaces him) or Ted Kord (Blue Beetle) 🤔
I only ask because IMDB has him listed for 7 episodes and I was curious to see it that matches up correctly.
You know it. I know it. Don't deny it.
These two actors would bring the characters to life magnificently in the inevitable TV series, coming soon to HBO. ^Never. ^sob...
