- Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride and Rachel Bloom return to their roles and the cast expands to include Emma Myers, Walker Scobell, Keke Palmer, Lily James, MrBeast and several other performers.
- John Rice directs from a script by Thurop Van Orman, with producers John Cohen, Dan Chuba, Carla Connor and Namit Malhotra and production participation from Rovio, Sega and Prime Focus Studios.
- The trailer mixes family-focused comedy set pieces, such as a scene at 'Mighty Eagle High School' and celebrity-parody jokes, with the franchise’s established action-comedy tone without revealing plot outcomes.
- The release builds on a franchise that has earned over $500 million from two prior films and signals cross-platform marketing opportunities and a strong holiday-family box-office bid for the studio.
