Production
Development
A third Angry Birds film was reported to be in development by Geeks WorldWide on April 30, 2020. Sony Pictures were said to be producing, with production planned for 2021.[11]
Rovio Entertainment officially announced that the third film was in production on June 6, 2024, with their new parent company Sega Sammy Group producing alongside Prime Focus Studios, in association with One Cool Films, Flywheel Media, and Dentsu, with DNEG Animation partnering for animation services.[2][12] John Rice—who previously co-directed The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019)—was attached to direct, with Thurop Van Orman writing the screenplay, and John Cohen, Dan Chuba, and Carla Connor producing.[2][4]
On April 8, 2025, it was announced that Paramount Pictures had picked up the distribution rights from Sony, likely due to Sega's existing relationship with Paramount on the Sonic the Hedgehog movies.[7] On July 18, Allied Gaming & Entertainment joined as an additional financier.[13]
Casting and recording
Alongside the film's announcement in June 2024, Jason Sudeikis and Josh Gad were reported to be reprising their roles as Red and Chuck.[2][4] More of the voice cast was revealed in April 2025, including Rachel Bloom and Danny McBride, who reprise their roles as Silver and Bomb.[7] On September 18, 2025, MrBeast, Salish Matter, Anthony Padilla, and Ian Hecox were announced to have been added to the cast; Padilla and Hecox reprise their roles as Hal and Bubbles.[10]
In September 2024, Josh Gad uploaded a photo of him in a recording studio—which showed a microphone and an image of Chuck on a screen—through his Instagram account,[14] implying that voice-over for the film had begun.[5] Psalm West was shown recording his lines with his mother, Kim Kardashian, in an episode of The Kardashians on November 6, 2025.[9]
Music
Alongside the announcement that Paramount would distribute the film, it was reported that Heitor Pereira would return to compose the film's score.[7][1]
Marketing
A teaser trailer was showcased at CinemaCon 2026. It depicts Red raising his children, concluding with Chuck and Bomb struggling to babysit when Olly drinks a full bottle of soda.[15] The trailer was later released publicly by Paramount on June 29, 2026.[3]
