Angry Birds Movie Set for January 2027 Release

The Angry Birds are set to make a triumphant return to the silver screen, though fans will need to exercise patience until 2027 to catch the latest installment. The upcoming film promises the return of beloved stars like Josh Gad, alongside exciting new additions to the cast such as Keke Palmer. The announcement of this third movie in the series has been met with a generally positive, if somewhat tempered, reaction, echoing the surprise many felt with the success of the initial Angry Birds film.

Interest in the third installment is high, but those eager to see it soon will have to wait, as Angry Birds 3 is scheduled for release on January 29, 2027. This extended timeline is not unusual for animated films, as fans of the Spiderverse series have similarly had to wait years for their next installment, also slated for 2027.

The decision to bring the Angry Birds back to theaters was likely influenced by Rovio's acquisition by Sega, a company that has successfully leveraged its Sonic the Hedgehog franchise into a film series and is set to release Sonic Rumble with film-themed skins. The continued enthusiasm of the Angry Birds community also plays a significant role in this revival.

The film will see the return of notable actors such as Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride, who have all achieved significant success since their initial involvement with the franchise. Joining them are new talents like the surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the versatile actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in Nope.

The timing of this announcement coincides with the 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, making it a fitting moment to revisit the franchise.
