Paul King, the director of the Paddington films and the Timothée Chalamet-led musical Wonka, is set to direct the Labubu film.

In November it was announced that Sony Pictures, fresh from the global success of KPop Demon Hunters, had acquired the screen rights to the Chinese plush toy sensation with a feature film in early development.

King began his screen career as associate director on the British TV comedy Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, then directed all three seasons of The Mighty Boosh.

His 2014 film Paddington and its even more acclaimed sequel Paddington 2, both of which he also co-wrote, earned almost $500m (€370m) globally.
