Angry Birds Movie Set for January 2027 Release

The announcement that the Angry Birds are returning to the silver screen has sparked a mix of excitement and nostalgia among fans. While the initial reaction might have been a casual, "Oh, that's cool," the truth is, the first Angry Birds movie pleasantly surprised many viewers. As a result, anticipation is building for the third installment in the series, though fans will need to exercise patience as the release date is set for January 29, 2027.

It's no secret that animated films often require a significant amount of time to produce. Fans of the Spiderverse series, for example, have experienced similar waits, with the final installment of that trilogy also slated for 2027. The delay, however, doesn't dampen the enthusiasm for what's to come.

The acquisition of Rovio by Sega likely played a role in bringing these irate avians back to theaters. The thriving Angry Birds community, coupled with Sega's success with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and their upcoming Sonic Rumble with film-themed skins, suggests a promising future for the series.

The return of big-name actors like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride adds to the excitement. These stars have found career-defining roles since their initial appearances in the franchise. Additionally, the inclusion of new talent such as the surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the multitalented actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in "Nope," promises fresh dynamics and humor.

Coinciding with the recent 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, now might be the perfect time to explore what the Creative Officer for the franchise, Ben Mattes, had to say about the anniversary and what lies ahead for these beloved characters.
