Angry Birds Movie Set for January 2027 Release

The news that the Angry Birds are set to return to the silver screen has elicited a collective, "Oh, that's cool." Sarcasm aside, while the first film adaptation of a mobile game surprised many with its charm, anticipation for the third installment is high. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait until January 29th, 2027, to see the latest adventure of these feathered heroes.

It's no secret that animated films often take years to produce. For instance, fans of the Spiderverse series have been waiting patiently, with the final part of the trilogy also scheduled for 2027. So, while the wait for Angry Birds 3 might feel long, it's not out of the ordinary for the genre.

Those birds sure are angryThe return of the Angry Birds to theaters can be attributed, in part, to Rovio's acquisition by Sega. The thriving community surrounding the series, coupled with Sega's success with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, including the upcoming Sonic Rumble and its film-themed skins, likely played a role in this decision.

The involvement of high-profile actors like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride, who have found significant roles since their initial appearances, adds to the excitement. New cast members such as surreal comedian Tim Robinson and multitalented actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in "Nope," bring fresh energy to the film.

With the recent celebration of the 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, now might be the perfect time to explore what Creative Officer Ben Mattes had to say about the franchise's milestone. As we look forward to 2027, the anticipation for Angry Birds 3 continues to build.
