Yes; he had a cameo in the 2014 film as the kindly gentleman in the cafe who raises a glass to Paddington as he passes by in a taxi...

But will he be posthumously featured in the sequel?

Whenever I used to stay at my Grandma's house, I would stay in the guest room which had Paddington Bear wall paper. They sold the house years back, I'll never see it again. ::sniff:: I've actually had dreams about staying over again.
