Angry Birds Movie Set for January 2027 Release

The news that the Angry Birds are making a comeback to the silver screen has sparked a mostly tepid reaction of, "Oh, that's cool." Alright, let's set the sarcasm aside for a moment. While the first film adaptation of the mobile gaming sensation may not have been on everyone's radar, it managed to pleasantly surprise many fans and critics alike.

So, it's no surprise that there's keen interest in what the third installment of the series will offer. However, if you were hoping for an immediate sequel, prepare to be disappointed. Angry Birds 3 is set to hit theaters on January 29th, 2027.

It's not unusual for animated films to take their time in development. Fans of the Spiderverse series, for instance, have experienced a long wait, only to learn that the concluding chapter of the trilogy will also premiere in 2027.

Those birds sure are angry. There's little doubt that Rovio's acquisition by Sega played a significant role in bringing our favorite irate avians back to the big screen. Coupled with the enduring popularity of the series, it's a smart move. After all, Sega has successfully revitalized its Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, capitalizing on its success with projects like Sonic Rumble and its movie-themed skins.

The return of big-name actors like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride adds to the excitement. These actors have found career-defining roles since their initial involvement with the franchise. Joining them are new talents such as surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the multitalented actress and star of Nope, Keke Palmer.

With the recent celebration of the 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, it might be the perfect time to delve into what Creative Officer Ben Mattes had to say about the milestone. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer, the anticipation for Angry Birds 3 promises to keep the franchise soaring high.
