The announcement that the Angry Birds are returning to the silver screen has sparked a wave of excitement among fans, tempered only by the news that we'll have to wait until January 29th, 2027, to see the latest installment. While the initial reaction might have been a casual "Oh, that's cool," the success of the first two films left audiences pleasantly surprised, setting the stage for high expectations for Angry Birds 3.
It's no surprise that fans are eager to see what the third film will bring, especially given the time it takes to produce animated films. For instance, fans of the Spiderverse series have also had to wait patiently, with the final installment of that trilogy also slated for 2027. The anticipation builds as we look forward to seeing how the Angry Birds saga continues to evolve.
Those birds sure are angryThe return of the Angry Birds to theaters can be attributed, in part, to Rovio's acquisition by Sega, a move that has reinvigorated the franchise. Sega's success with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, including the upcoming Sonic Rumble with its film-themed skins, showcases their ability to capitalize on beloved gaming IPs. The thriving community around Angry Birds further fuels the excitement for the new film.
The return of big-name actors like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride adds to the anticipation. These actors have found career-defining roles since their initial appearances in the series. Joining them are new cast members, including the surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the multitalented actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in "Nope." Their involvement promises to bring fresh energy to the beloved franchise.
With the recent celebration of the 15th anniversary of Angry Birds, now is an excellent time to explore what Creative Officer Ben Mattes had to say about the milestone. As we look forward to Angry Birds 3, the blend of nostalgia and new talent ensures that the wait until 2027 will be worth it.
