Seven years have passed since viewers got the chance to visit Bird Island in The Angry Birds Movie 2, but at long last, the avian inhabitants are about to take flight once more. This holiday season, The Angry Birds Movie 3 will finally arrive in theaters, though a few things have changed. For one, the franchise based on Rovio Entertainment’s smash hit mobile games is now nesting at Paramount Pictures instead of Sony, and two, the flock has grown. After playing hero twice for his fellow avians, Jason Sudeikis‘ Red will now have to face his greatest challenge yet — fatherhood.
Love was in the air at the end of the last Angry Birds outing, as not only did Mighty Eagle and Zeta tie the not, but Red also got together with Silver over a toast. When The Angry Birds Movie 3 picks up, they’ll have not one, not two, but three kids of their own in different phases of their lives, including their teenage daughter, June, adventurous son Glider, and young hatchling Olly. With a bigger family comes a bigger cast, including A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder star Emma Myers, Percy Jackson and the Olympians lead Walker Scobell, and Psalm West as the kids, joining the returning Sudeikis and Rachel Bloom. With only half a year remaining until the whole family hits the big screen, the first trailer has officially been released, teasing the chaos Red now has to face trying to be a good dad for the trio while also having to save the world once again.
Much of the footage focuses on Red’s new job as a designated full-time dad, a far cry from the hot-headed outcast he was when the Angry Birds made their feature debut in 2016. He’s now learned how to be more patient and love his own little flock, even if raising them is far from easy. From dodging danger with his youngest to trying too hard to be cool, and panicking over whatever trouble Glider gets himself into, he’ll run the full gauntlet of parenthood and get pushed to his limit trying to raise a happy, healthy family. Fortunately, he won’t just have Silver in his life, but his old pals Chuck (Josh Gad) and Bomb (Danny McBride) to act as babysitters when he needs a break or provide some extra help keeping Bird Island safe.
Collider Exclusive · Universe Personality Quiz Which Iconic Universe Do You Belong in the Most? Star Wars · Lord of the Rings · Harry Potter · Game of Thrones · Star Trek
Five legendary universes. Five completely different visions of what the world could be — or already was. One of them is the world your instincts, your values, and your particular way of existing were built for. Eight questions will tell you which one.
🚀Star Wars
💍Lord of the Rings
🧙Harry Potter
👑Game of Thrones
🖖Star Trek
01
What gives your life its deepest sense of meaning? Every universe is built around a different answer to this question.
02
Which kind of world do you most want to inhabit? The environment shapes who you become. Choose carefully.
03
How do you prefer your conflicts resolved? The shape of a world’s conflicts tells you everything about its soul.
04
Who do you want beside you when things get difficult? Your ideal companions reveal the world you were made for.
05
What is your relationship with power? How you seek, wield, or resist power is the map of who you are.
06
How does your universe treat good and evil? A world’s moral architecture tells you more about it than any map.
07
What role would you naturally fall into? Every universe has archetypes. Which one fits you without trying?
08
What do you ultimately believe about the future? The answer to this is the clearest window into which universe already lives inside you.
Your Universe Has Been Chosen You Belong In…
Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is vast.
You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance.
You’d find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources.
Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story.
The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to use it for something larger than yourself certainly is.
Middle-earth
Lord of the Rings
You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world’s beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.
Middle-earth is a world of ancient wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough small acts of courage accumulate.
You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival.
Tolkien’s universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something heavy across a very long distance.
Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world.
The Wizarding World
Harry Potter
You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what’s right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.
The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle.
You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete.
Harry Potter’s universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying.
That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely.
Westeros · The Known World
Game of Thrones
You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You use it.
Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation.
You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don’t confuse the world as it is with the world as you’d like it to be.
Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are sharp enough to know which one lasts longer.
Winter always comes. You are already prepared.
The United Federation of Planets
Star Trek
You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.
Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear.
You would belong here because you are fundamentally optimistic about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being honest about how hard that achievement is.
The Federation is the universe’s most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better?
You don’t just hope that’s possible. You think it’s the only thing worth working toward.
‘The Angry Birds Movie 3’ Adds More Internet-Famous Star Power to the Flock
Aside from Red’s family and friends, many of the previous residents of Bird Island have left the nest for The Angry Birds Movie 3. Smosh duo Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox are an exception, though, returning as Hal and Bubbles, respectively. They’ll be joined by a few other internet celebrities this time around, too, with mega-popular YouTube star, money-printing business magnate, and Beast Games host MrBeast and fellow social media sensation and actress Salish Matter among the flock of newcomers. Marcello Hernández, Tim Robinson, Anna Cathcart, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Nikki Glaser, Sam Richardson, James Austin Johnson, Lily James, and Keke Palmer round out the star-studded roster. Angry Birds 2 director Thurop Van Orman moved from behind the camera to the writers’ room to make way for new helmer John Rice, but with his involvement, they’ll hope to replicate the family-friendly success of the previous two films that totaled over half a billion at the global box office.
The Angry Birds Movie 3 lands in theaters on December 23. Check out the trailer in the player above.
