Angry Birds Movie Set for January 2027 Release

The Angry Birds franchise is set to make a triumphant return to the silver screen, but fans will have to exercise patience as the release date is scheduled for January 29th, 2027. The announcement was met with a mix of excitement and nostalgia, with many fans expressing a casual yet enthusiastic, "Oh, that's cool." While the first Angry Birds movie may have caught some by surprise with its success, it's clear that the anticipation for the third installment is strong.

The production of animated films often takes considerable time, a fact well-known to fans of other franchises such as Spiderverse, which also faces a similar wait for its concluding chapter in 2027. The extended timeline for Angry Birds 3 is no exception, leaving fans eager yet understanding of the wait.

The acquisition of Rovio by Sega likely played a role in bringing the Angry Birds back to theaters. The continued popularity and vibrant community surrounding the series, coupled with Sega's recent success with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, including the upcoming Sonic Rumble with its film-themed skins, underscores the potential for Angry Birds 3 to be a hit.

The film will see the return of beloved voices like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride, who have all found significant roles since their initial involvement with the franchise. Adding to the excitement, new cast members such as the surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the multitalented actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in "Nope," will join the ensemble.

Coinciding with the recent 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, this is an opportune moment to explore what Creative Officer Ben Mattes had to say about the milestone and the future of the franchise. As we await the release of Angry Birds 3, the blend of nostalgia and fresh talent promises to make it a highly anticipated cinematic event.
