The trailer for The Angry Birds Movie 3 reveals that perhaps not everyone sees an empty nest as a bad thing.
Paramount Pictures is set to release the latest film from the animated franchise on Dec. 23. Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom and Danny McBride reprise their voice roles for the new installment in the series that includes 2016’s The Angry Birds Movie and its 2019 sequel.
The Angry Birds Movie 3 follows Red (Sudeikis), a temperamental cardinal who attempts to save the world while raising three youngsters, alongside the help of his pals Chuck (Gad), Bomb (McBride) and Silver (Bloom). The feature is based on the popular video games from Rovio Entertainment, a subsidiary of Sega.
“I’m a professional, full-time parent,” Sudeikis declares in the trailer. “It’s my new job.”
Rounding out the voice cast are Emma Myers, Walker Scobell, Marcello Hernández, Tim Robinson, Lily James, Keke Palmer, Anna Cathcart, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Nikki Glaser, MrBeast, Salish Matter, Psalm West, Sam Richardson and James Austin Johnson.
John Rice helmed the film from a script by Thurop Van Orman. John Cohen, Dan Chuba, Carla Connor and Namit Malhotra serve as producers. Rovio and Sega produce The Angry Birds Movie 3 alongside Prime Focus Studios, in partnership with Flywheel Media, One Cool Group and Dentsu.
The Angry Birds Movie franchise kicked off with the first title that hit theaters in May 2016 and centered on an island of flightless birds dealing with the arrival of a group of pigs. Sony Pictures released the first two films, including 2019’s The Angry Birds Movie 2, which have collectively surpassed $500 million at the global box office.
