You have to admit: Angry Birds does not sound like a video game formula that one can easily turn into a film. After all, the video game franchise created by Jaakko Iisalo and developed by Finnish video game company Rovio Entertainment (now owned by SEGA) is at its heart a puzzle game inspired by Crush the Castle. There’s little to no story in those games. And yet, Rovio have turned their games into a highly successful media franchise which includes a pair of feature-length animated films. In fact, The Angry Birds Movie 2 is one of the most critically acclaimed video game movies of all time, getting a 73% on Rotten Tomatoes. Quite impressive for a film adaptation of a game in which you fling birds at some green pigs.

All this is to explain why Paramount Pictures is proud to announce that they will be bringing The Angry Birds Movie 3 to theaters. Rovio Entertainment and SEGA will produce the film alongside Namit Malhotra and his production company Prime Focus Studios, in partnership with Flywheel Media, One Cool Group, and dentsu. Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso, Horrible Bosses), Josh Gad (Frozen, Beauty and the Beast), Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Trolls World Tour), and Danny McBride (The Righteous Gemstones, The Mitchells vs. the Machines) will reprise their voice roles as Red, Chuck, Silver, and Bomb respectively.

Not only that, but there’s even a whole bunch of new cast which includes Emma Myers (Wednesday, A Minecraft Movie), Keke Palmer (One of Them Days, Nope), Tim Robinson (I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, Friendship), Lily James (Cinderella, Baby Driver), Marcello Hernandez (Saturday Night Live), Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson and the Olympians), Sam Richardson (Ted Lasso, Veep), Anna Cathcart (XO Kitty, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Never Have I Ever, Turning Red), Nikki Glaser (Golden Globe Awards, The Roast of Tom Brady), James Austin Johnson (Saturday Night Live), and Psalm West (Hulu’s The Kardashians).

As for when we’ll get to see The Angry Birds Movie 3? Well, Paramount also announces that they will bring the film to theaters on January 29, 2027. Alas, tickets are not yet on sale yet. We’ll have to wait for that at a later date.

The Angry Birds Movie 3 Coming to Theaters in 2027

What a flightless bird needs to do to fly.

It certainly seems like the Angry Birds franchise has come a long way since its humble roots as a simple puzzle game. With The Angry Birds Movie 3 on the horizon, it looks like these birds are here to stay. We will just have to see what Rovio comes up with for the story of this threequel. Alas, it will be quite a long way for 2027. You’ll have plenty of time to rewatch the previous two films to catch up on them. Heck, you’ll even have time to play the original games if you haven’t already.
