The news that the Angry Birds are set to return to the silver screen has sparked a mix of excitement and mild surprise among fans. While the initial reaction might have been a casual "Oh, that's cool," the success of the earlier films left many pleasantly surprised. Now, anticipation is building for the third installment, though viewers will have to wait until January 29th, 2027, to see it come to life.
The delay is not unusual for animated films, as fans of the Spiderverse series know all too well, having faced years of waiting for the final chapter, also slated for 2027. The extended timeline for Angry Birds 3 reflects the meticulous work that goes into crafting these cinematic experiences.
Those birds sure are angryThe return of the Angry Birds to theaters can be partly attributed to Rovio's acquisition by Sega, a company that has seen success with its own franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog. The thriving community around Angry Birds, coupled with Sega's recent ventures like Sonic Rumble and its film-themed skins, has likely spurred this revival.
Adding to the excitement, the film will see the return of big-name actors such as Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride, who have found significant success since their initial involvement. Joining them are new cast members like the surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the multitalented actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in "Nope."
The timing of the announcement aligns with the recent 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, making it an opportune moment to explore what Creative Officer Ben Mattes had to say about the milestone. As fans eagerly await the next chapter, the blend of nostalgia and fresh talent promises to make Angry Birds 3 a noteworthy addition to the franchise.
