The news of the Angry Birds returning to the silver screen has sparked a wave of enthusiasm, tempered only by the wait until 2027. While the initial announcement might have been met with a lukewarm "Oh, that's cool," the first Angry Birds movie pleasantly surprised many, setting high expectations for what the third installment might bring. Mark your calendars for January 29th, 2027, as that's when Angry Birds 3 is set to hit theaters.
It's no secret that animated films often require a lengthy production time. Fans of the Spiderverse series, for example, have faced similar anticipation, with the final trilogy installment also slated for 2027. The wait is understandable, but it certainly builds excitement.
The acquisition of Rovio by Sega likely played a significant role in bringing these irate avians back to the big screen. The thriving community around the Angry Birds series, combined with Sega's success with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and its upcoming Sonic Rumble with film-themed skins, underscores the potential for another hit.
The return of big-name actors like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride adds to the excitement, especially considering their career-defining roles since the first film. New additions such as the surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the multitalented actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in Nope, promise to bring fresh energy to the franchise.
Coinciding with the 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, it's a perfect time to delve into what Creative Officer Ben Mattes has to say about the franchise's milestone. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the flock, the anticipation for Angry Birds 3 is building, promising another fun-filled cinematic adventure.
