Labubu Is Heading To The Big Screen As Sony Taps ‘Paddington’ Director For Movie

Labubu, the mischievous sharp‑toothed collectible from Pop Mart and Kasing Lung’s The Monsters line, is making the leap to cinema. Sony Pictures has tapped Paddington director Paul King to helm the live‑action/CGI hybrid, with Dear Evan Hansen writer Steven Levenson co‑writing the script. Pop Mart is partnering on the project, and Lung himself will serve as executive producer, ensuring the character’s quirky spirit remains intact. The film faces the challenge of translating Labubu’s silent, attitude‑driven persona into a full narrative, but with King and Levenson shaping the story, fans can expect a playful yet emotionally resonant big‑screen debut.
