Angry Birds Movie to Hit Theaters in January 2027

The news that the Angry Birds are set to return to the silver screen has sparked a wave of casual interest among fans and moviegoers alike. While the reaction might be summed up with a nonchalant, "Oh, that's cool," there's no denying the impact the franchise has had since its unexpected success with its first movie. The anticipation for the third installment in the series is real, but fans will need to exercise patience as Angry Birds 3 won't be hitting theaters until January 29th, 2027.

It's not unusual for animated films to take their time in production. Fans of the Spiderverse series, for instance, have faced their own share of waiting and wondering, only to learn that the final chapter of their beloved trilogy is also slated for release in 2027.

The continued enthusiasm of the Angry Birds community, coupled with Sega's success in revitalizing their own Sonic the Hedgehog franchise with hits like the upcoming Sonic Rumble and its film-themed skins, has paved the way for this new venture.

What's particularly exciting is the return of big-name talents such as Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride, who have all found significant roles since their initial foray into the Angry Birds universe. Joining them are new additions like the surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the versatile actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in Nope.

Ben Mattes, the Creative Officer for Angry Birds, has shared insights and reflections on this milestone, offering fans a chance to reconnect with the series and its enduring appeal.
