The Angry Birds are set to make a triumphant return to the silver screen, much to the delight of fans worldwide. However, you'll need to mark your calendars for January 29, 2027, as that's when the third installment in the series is slated to premiere. The anticipation for what this new film will bring is palpable, given the pleasant surprises the first two movies delivered.
It's no surprise that animated films take time to craft, and fans of other franchises, like the Spiderverse series, are also familiar with the long waits. The final installment of that trilogy is also set to release in 2027, highlighting the patience required for such projects.
The acquisition of Rovio by Sega likely played a significant role in bringing these irate avians back to theaters. The thriving community surrounding the Angry Birds series, coupled with Sega's success with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, underscores the potential for this new film. Sega's upcoming Sonic Rumble, featuring film-themed skins, is another testament to their strategy of leveraging popular franchises.
The return of big-name actors like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride adds to the excitement. These actors have found career-defining roles since their initial appearances in the franchise. Joining them are fresh faces like the surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the multitalented actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in "Nope."
With the recent celebration of the 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, it's a perfect time to dive deeper into the franchise. Ben Mattes, the Creative Officer for the series, shared insights on the anniversary, offering fans a glimpse into what's next for these beloved characters.
