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 as the release is scheduled for January 29, 2027. The announcement was met with a mix of enthusiasm and humor, with many recalling the surprising success of the original Angry Birds movie. This third installment promises to blend familiar faces with new talent, featuring returning stars like Josh Gad, Jason Sudeikis, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride, alongside exciting additions such as Keke Palmer and Tim Robinson.

The journey to the big screen for animated films can often be lengthy, as seen with the much-anticipated Spiderverse trilogy, which also faces a 2027 release. The extended timeline for Angry Birds 3 is thus not unexpected, but it does build anticipation among the franchise's dedicated fanbase.

The acquisition of Rovio by Sega likely played a significant role in bringing the irate avians back to theaters. This move mirrors Sega's success with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, which continues to thrive with projects like Sonic Rumble and its film-themed skins. The enduring popularity of Angry Birds, coupled with Sega's track record, sets the stage for what could be another blockbuster hit.

The involvement of high-profile actors who have found career-defining roles since their initial appearances adds to the excitement. The addition of versatile talents like Keke Palmer and the unique comedic style of Tim Robinson promises to bring fresh energy to the film.

Coinciding with the 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, there's no better time to revisit the franchise. Creative Officer Ben Mattes shared insights on the anniversary, highlighting the continued relevance and evolution of the Angry Birds universe.
