Paramount Pictures has released the first official trailer for The Angry Birds Movie 3, offering fans an early look at the next chapter in the popular animated franchise ahead of its theatrical debut later this year.
The third instalment, directed by John Rice and written by Thurop Van Orman, sees the return of several familiar characters as the story expands beyond previous adventures. According to the trailer, Red faces one of his toughest challenges yet as he attempts to balance fatherhood with the responsibility of helping save the world.

The Angry Birds film series is based on the globally successful mobile gaming franchise created by Rovio Entertainment. The first two films generated more than $500 million worldwide at the box office and continued to attract audiences through streaming platforms.
Production on the latest sequel brings back several key creative figures from previous films. Grammy Award-winning composer Heitor Pereira returns to provide the musical score, while DNEG Animation once again handles animation duties. Jeanie Chang serves as production designer, with Francesca Natale overseeing character design.
The film is produced by John Cohen, Dan Chuba, Carla Connor and Namit Malhotra. Paramount Pictures is presenting the project in association with SEGA and Rovio Entertainment.
The newly released trailer highlights the franchise’s signature blend of comedy, action and family-friendly storytelling while introducing fresh characters and larger-scale adventures.
With its release scheduled for Dec. 23, The Angry Birds Movie 3 is expected to be one of the major family-oriented films of the 2026 holiday season, competing for audiences during one of the busiest periods at the global box office.
The film will be released exclusively in cinemas worldwide.
