Angry birds movie 3 : new trailer reveals Red’s family life

The Angry Birds Movie 3 is bringing a different kind of pressure to Bird Island: parenthood. Paramount’s new trailer pairs the animated sequel’s family comedy with “Sun Showers,” the original song performed by BLACKPINK member Kim Ji-soo, professionally known as JISOO. Opening on December 23, 2026, the film sends Red into an adventure in which protecting the world must somehow fit around raising a family.

French audiences will discover the sequel as Angry Birds – La Grande Envolée, the official local title confirmed by Paramount Pictures France. Its Christmas release places this third adaptation of Rovio Entertainment’s video game franchise firmly in the holiday cinema calendar. The new promotional material foregrounds an accessible question: what happens when a hero accustomed to confronting danger has to cope with children who have ideas of their own?

The Angry Birds Movie 3 trailer makes Red a father of three

Rovio’s first-trailer announcement established the central change: Red now has three children. Jason Sudeikis returns as Red, alongside Rachel Bloom as Silver, Josh Gad as Chuck and Danny McBride as Bomb. Emma Myers, Walker Scobell and Psalm West join the family as the younger generation, giving the familiar flock a new set of relationships to navigate.

That premise offers a promising extension of the character’s established temperament. A short fuse can be useful fuel for action comedy; within a family, it becomes a source of everyday friction. The campaign suggests that Red’s challenge will involve patience as much as bravery. This is the sequel’s clearest creative opportunity: allowing its central character to develop while retaining the combustible personality audiences recognize.

Sun Showers brings a personal creative story to the soundtrack

“Sun Showers” was co-written by Kim Ji-soo, an important distinction from describing her as its sole songwriter. Reporting on the announcement explains that she wanted the song to reflect the film’s upbeat, playful personality. Its presence in the new trailer connects the soundtrack directly to the campaign’s emphasis on warmth, movement and comedy.

There is also a charming detail behind the single’s artwork. The Hollywood Reporter’s announcement, reproduced by IMDb, describes Shumon, a small dustball creature that Kim Ji-soo drew while she was in middle school, before her professional debut. The character appears on the song’s artwork. That gives the collaboration a personal connection to her own youthful imagination, beyond the familiar pairing of an animated feature and a pop performer.

The original song sits alongside a returning musical voice: Heitor Pereira, who composed the scores for the previous Angry Birds films, is back for the third installment. His involvement provides continuity across the series while the new track introduces a distinct pop element. A score and a featured song serve different purposes, and both are part of the film’s announced musical package.

Returning voices meet an expanded English cast

The English-language ensemble also welcomes back Anthony Padilla as Hal and Ian Hecox as Bubbles. Their return adds another link to the earlier films beyond the principal quartet, while the newcomers broaden the mixture of screen comedy, television talent and online personalities represented in the recording booth.

The announced cast includes Marcello Hernández, Tim Robinson, Anna Cathcart, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Nikki Glaser, Sam Richardson, James Austin Johnson, Lily James and Keke Palmer. Salish Matter and Jimmy Donaldson, known professionally as MrBeast, are also involved. The confirmed ensemble is substantial, although the available announcements do not justify assigning a character to every performer.

Marine Delplace and Louis Cattelat join the French version

The French dub gives two of Red and Silver’s children distinctive local voices. Marine Delplace, known professionally as Marine, voices June, their 13-year-old daughter. The French casting announcement describes June as determined to claim her independence, a useful counterweight to a father trying to keep his increasingly complicated household under control.

Louis Cattelat voices Glider, their 16-year-old son, whose ambition is to become a star of Egg Ball, the birds’ version of American football. Marc Arnaud returns as Red. Those character details suggest two different sources of family tension: a daughter seeking more freedom and a son eager to distinguish himself through sporting achievement.

John Rice directs a sequel with returning creative talent

John Rice directs The Angry Birds Movie 3 from a screenplay by Thurop Van Orman. Paramount’s French credits name John Cohen, Dan Chuba, Carla Connor and Namit Malhotra as producers. Rovio, SEGA and Prime Focus Studios officially announced production on June 6, 2024, with DNEG Animation as the animation partner.

The franchise already has a substantial theatrical history. Rovio reported that the first two films, released in 2016 and 2019, had together earned more than $500 million worldwide. The third installment arrives a decade after the first, with a premise that offers a fresh point of entry while continuing the lives of established characters. [

December 23 release replaces the earlier January date

Paramount’s current US and French listings confirm December 23, 2026. An earlier official announcement advertised January 29, 2027, explaining why that date still appears in older coverage. The current campaign centers on the December theatrical opening, with the new trailer highlighting the family story and soundtrack ahead of Christmas.
