Overview
- Paramount released the first official trailer on Monday, June 29, 2026, confirming Red is now a father and announcing a U.S. theatrical release on December 23, 2026.
- The studio billed the story as Red balancing parenthood with a world-saving mission, while the trailer focuses on parenting jokes and family dynamics rather than detailed plot or antagonist motives.
- Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom and Danny McBride return and the cast adds high-profile newcomers plus internet creators such as MrBeast, signaling a marketing push to reach both family and digital-native audiences.
- The film is directed by John Rice from a screenplay by Thurop Van Orman and is produced by Rovio and Sega with partners including Prime Focus Studios and DNEG, with Paramount handling global distribution after the franchise left Sony.
- The Angry Birds films began as a hit mobile game and two prior theatrical movies that earned strong global returns, and the December holiday slot and influencer casting suggest Paramount is positioning the sequel for broad box-office and cross-platform reach.
