After Missing Her In Paddington 3, I’m Afraid Seeing Mrs. Brown In A24’s New Horror Movie Will Totally Traumatize Me

I'm sad Sally Hawkins had to miss Paddington in Peru, but her latest movie might freak me out so much I have to avoid it, even if she is playing another mom. In the first two highly-regarded Paddington movies, the actor brought an earnest, maternal warmth to the role of Mrs. Brown, the kindly matriarch who agrees to take in the titular bear when he's stuck without a home. Alongside Hugh Bonneville, Julie Walters, and Ben Whishaw as Paddington, Hawkins became a key part of the franchise's ensemble, but her tenure has come to an end.
