"Angry Birds Movie Set for January 2027 Release"

The announcement that the Angry Birds are making a comeback to the big screen was met with a collective, "Oh, that's cool." While the first film based on the mobile game surprised many with its charm, the news of a third installment in the series has piqued interest. However, fans will need to exercise patience as Angry Birds 3 is set to hit theaters on January 29, 2027.

It's no secret that animated films often take time to produce. Fans of the Spiderverse series, for example, have faced years of anticipation, with the final chapter slated for release in 2027 as well.

Those birds sure are angry. The acquisition of Rovio by Sega likely played a significant role in bringing the irate avians back to the silver screen, bolstered by the enduring popularity of the franchise. Sega's success with the Sonic the Hedgehog movies and the upcoming Sonic Rumble, featuring film-themed skins, further underscores their commitment to gaming-based films.

The return of big-name actors such as Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride adds to the excitement. These stars have found career-defining roles since their initial appearances in the franchise. New additions to the cast, including surreal comedian Tim Robinson and the multitalented actress Keke Palmer, known for her role in "Nope," promise fresh dynamics to the story.

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 this milestone.
