Paddington and Wonka director Paul King to direct Labubu movie

Paul King, director of the global hit Paddington films and the Timothee Chalamet-led musical Wonka, is set to direct the Labubu film. In November it was announced that Sony Pictures, fresh off the global success of KPop Demon Hunters, had acquired the screen rights to the Chinese plush toy sensation with a feature film already 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.
