The announcement of the Angry Birds' return to the silver screen has been met with a mix of excitement and casual interest. While the first mobile game adaptation pleasantly surprised many, the anticipation for the third installment is palpable, though fans will have to wait until January 29th, 2027, to see it hit theaters.
It's not unusual for animated films to take several years to produce. For instance, fans of the Spiderverse series have also been waiting patiently, with the final chapter slated for release in 2027. The delay in Angry Birds 3's release is understandable given the intricate work that goes into animation.
The acquisition of Rovio by Sega likely played a significant role in bringing the Angry Birds back to the big screen. The thriving community around the series, coupled with Sega's success with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, including upcoming projects like Sonic Rumble with its film-themed skins, has undoubtedly contributed to this decision.
The film will see the return of beloved actors such as Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride, who have all found career-defining roles since their initial appearances. Additionally, new cast members like the surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the multitalented actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in "Nope," will join the ensemble, adding fresh energy to the franchise.
With the recent celebration of the 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, it's a perfect time to explore what Creative Officer Ben Mattes had to say about the milestone. The continued enthusiasm for the series suggests that the wait for Angry Birds 3 will be well worth it.
