The Angry Birds are set to make a triumphant return to the silver screen, but fans will have to wait until January 29, 2027, to catch the action. The announcement was met with a mix of excitement and mild surprise, given the unexpected success of the first film based on the popular mobile game. While the wait for Angry Birds 3 may seem long, it's not uncommon for animated films to take several years to produce. For instance, fans of the Spiderverse series are also looking forward to the final installment in that trilogy, slated for the same year.
The acquisition of Rovio by Sega likely played a role in bringing the beloved, irate avians back to theaters. The thriving community around the Angry Birds series, coupled with Sega's own success with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise—including the upcoming Sonic Rumble with its film-themed skins—has set the stage for this exciting return. The involvement of big-name actors like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride, who have found career-defining roles since their initial appearances, adds to the anticipation. New cast members such as surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the multitalented actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in "Nope," are also set to join the flock.
Coinciding with the recent 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, now might be the perfect time to delve into what Creative Officer Ben Mattes had to say about the milestone. As the excitement builds, fans can look forward to seeing what new adventures and surprises await in Angry Birds 3.
Those birds sure are angry
