The idea of Hayley Atwell appearing in thePaddingtonfranchise makes perfect sense on paper.
The movies are typically set in the UK and feature many British and European stars.
She’s got the British background and star power to be a great presence in these movies.
The size of her appearance is not what caught me off guard.
Atwell is no stranger to cameo roles thanks to the MCU and her many appearances as Peggy Carter.
This includes Atwell doing an American accent.

She hasn’t used an American accent since 2017 in her short-lived ABC seriesConviction.
That’s why the American accent was so surprising.
Casting Atwell means the script could have very easily changed to have this character be a UK native.

This would have then eliminated the need for Atwell to do the accent.
She’s meant to push Mr. Brown to be more accepting of some risks in life and work.
It’s a small detail that doesn’t affect the grand scheme ofPaddington in Peru.

Atwell now joins their ranks, but her role is noticeably different thanks to the American character.
She isnow responsible for playing one of the only American characters in thePaddingtonmovies.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still happy that Atwell had a role inPaddington in Peruat all.
The only hope now is thatPaddington 4somehow manages to incorporate her further.
