In the meantime, Variety reports that Sony and Rovio have officially set a September 20, 2019 release date for the sequel to The Angry Birds Movie, which raked in $350 million at the worldwide box office.
That’s right — by the time The Angry Birds Movie 2 hits theaters, the game will have been around for 10 whole years.
The first Angry Birds Movie was directed by Fergal Reilly and Clay Kaytis, and featured the voices of Jason Sudeikis, Danny McBride and Josh Gad.
Following a successful collaboration on last year’s The Angry Birds Movie, Sony and Rovio are teaming up for another animated avian outing — that’s not really surprising, since the first film was a fairly big hit at the box office, making it a matter of when, not if, a sequel would happen.
