The news that the Angry Birds are set to return to the silver screen has sparked a wave of excitement, albeit with a touch of humor. While the initial reaction might be a casual, "Oh, that's cool," the truth is that the first Angry Birds movie pleasantly surprised many fans and critics alike. So, it's no surprise that anticipation is building for the third installment in the series. However, fans will need to exercise patience, as Angry Birds 3 is scheduled to hit theaters on January 29th, 2027.
It's not unusual for animated films to take several years to produce. For instance, fans of the Spiderverse series have had to wait patiently, with the final installment also slated for release in 2027. The extended timeline for these projects often reflects the meticulous care and attention to detail that goes into crafting these cinematic experiences.
Those birds sure are angry. The acquisition of Rovio by Sega likely played a significant role in bringing the irate avians back to the big screen. The thriving community around the Angry Birds series, coupled with Sega's success with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, including the upcoming Sonic Rumble with its film-themed skins, underscores the potential for continued success.
The return of big-name actors such as Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride adds to the excitement. These actors have found career-defining roles since their initial appearances in the franchise. Joining them are new cast members, including the surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the multitalented actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in "Nope."
With the recent celebration of the 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, now might be the perfect time to explore what Creative Officer Ben Mattes had to say about the milestone. As we look forward to 2027, the anticipation for Angry Birds 3 continues to grow, promising another fun-filled adventure with our favorite feathered friends.
