After an impressive span of five years since the release of The Angry Birds Movie 2, the highly anticipated The Angry Birds Movie 3 has officially been announced, with numerous familiar cast members set to reprise their roles. The Angry Birds franchise originated in 2009 with the debut of the original Angry Birds mobile game, crafted by Rovio to take advantage of the burgeoning smartphone gaming market. The franchise’s premise is straightforward yet engaging, revolving around players launching the irate feathered characters at structures constructed by green pigs who have pilfered the birds’ eggs. Over time, the lore of the franchise has significantly expanded through various games and media.
It didn’t take long for the phenomenal success of Angry Birds to extend to other entertainment mediums, leading to the creation of webtoons that marked the beginning of the film and television segment of this flourishing franchise. The first film, The Angry Birds Movie, released in 2016, became a major box office success. Its sequel, while receiving better critical acclaim, did not perform as well commercially, and thus plans for a third installment were not initially announced. However, nearly ten years following the debut of the first installment, The Angry Birds Movie 3 has now been officially greenlit, exciting fans and audiences alike.

The announcement of The Angry Birds Movie 3 was made in mid-2024 after years of speculation and anticipation.

In a departure from the summer release patterns of its predecessors, The Angry Birds Movie 3 is set to premiere in the heart of winter on January 29, 2027.
