2027 is shaping up to be a great year for family-friendly movies already. Not only do we have Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and a live-action Legend of Zelda movie, but now we get another installment in the Angry Birds franchise. Yes, Angry Birds 3 is officially a go.
The third movie is a bit of a risk. While the first movie soared to success, The Angry Birds Movie 2 was a bit of a flop. However, The Hollywood Reporter shares that the two movies have been a huge hit on streaming platforms, which isn't that surprising. This is where most kids are watching their movies right now!
When will Angry Birds 3 come to theaters?
The Paramount Pictures movie will not clash with one of its own competitor products. Angry Birds 3 will fly into theaters on Jan. 29, 2027. Animation takes a long time to produce, but this is a long wait considering the second movie was released back in 2019!
As you'll note, there is a change in the studio behind the release. The first two movies were Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures movies. This could explain such a long wait between the movies, as there would have been time spent looking for a new production company to create and distribute the film.
Many will note that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is also a Paramount Pictures movie, but that one will arrive in March. You won't need to pick and choose with the family — I know my kids are happy that they'll get to see both!
Who will be in The Angry Birds Movie 3?
Jason Sudeikis and Josh Gad will return as Red and Chuck. At the same time, Rachel Bloom and Danny McBride are back to voice Silver and Bomb. And yes, game creator Rovio Entertainment and game owner Sega are still behind this latest animated installment.
The movie will have new voices coming in to show off their talents. Look out for Wednesday's Emma Myers, Nope's Keke Palmer, and former SNL star Tim Robinson take on roles. The roles so far have been undisclosed, but that's not surprising to help keep elements of the movie a surprise.
The aim of this release is to connect to both old and new fans. Expect some Easter eggs, but also expect some fresh content that will draw in the newer viewers — and with such a long wait, there are sure to be children and teens who weren't old enough to appreciate the original game or the first two movies.
The Angry Birds 3 will come to theaters on Jan. 29. 2025.
