- The Angry Birds flock back to theaters
- Fans must wait until 2027 for the next chapter
- Josh Gad and Keke Palmer lead a star-studded cast
The news of the Angry Birds' return to theaters sparked a wave of intrigue, with reactions ranging from mild surprise to genuine excitement. While the first film, born from a mobile game, exceeded modest expectations, its success has fueled anticipation for this third installment.
However, eager fans will need patience, as Angry Birds 3 is set to hit screens on January 29, 2027. The lengthy wait has left some disappointed, but the promise of a fresh adventure keeps enthusiasm alive.
Long production timelines are no stranger to animated films. For instance, Spiderverse devotees have faced years of anticipation, with their trilogy's finale also targeting a 2027 release.
Those feathered heroes are back with a vengeance
Sega’s acquisition of Rovio likely played a key role in bringing these feisty birds back to the big screen. The enduring popularity of the Angry Birds community, paired with Sega’s success in turning Sonic the Hedgehog into a cinematic hit, complete with spin-offs like Sonic Rumble, sets high expectations for this venture.
The film boasts a returning cast of heavyweights like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride, many of whom have soared to new career heights since their first appearance. Newcomers, including comedian Tim Robinson and versatile star Keke Palmer, add fresh energy to the lineup.
With the Angry Birds franchise recently celebrating its 15th anniversary, now’s a perfect moment to explore what Creative Officer Ben Mattes shared about the milestone and the series’ vibrant legacy.
