The Angry Birds 2 (2019):

“ The flightless birds and scheming green pigs take their feud to the next level (IMDb Description).”

The Angry Birds Movie 2 Teaser

Zeta needs a change of scenery.

The Angry Birds 2 stars the voice talents of Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Leslie Jones, Bill Hader, Rachel Bloom, Awkwafina, Sterling K. Brown, Eugenio Derbez, Danny McBride, and Peter Dinklage. Thurop Van Orman and John Rice are directing from a screenplay by Peter Ackerman.

When the original Angry Birds film earned $349.7 million worldwide — on a $73 million budget — it was obvious this film was destined for a sequel. After all, Sony Animation has made three sequels to the less successful Open Season ($197 million worldwide, 2006). 

Less expected was that this film could be something enjoyable. The mix of experience in cartoon projects enjoyed by adults and kids alike gives me hope.

Thurop Van Orman (Adventure Time writer, creator of Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack) will direct the sequel alongside co-director John Rice (King of the Hill, Rick & Morty), with Ice Age scribe Peter Ackerman (also of FXX’s The Americans) writing the script. 

The September 20, 2019, release will be just a few months shy of the Angry Birds app’s 10th anniversary.
