Red is back, but his next adventure comes with a challenge he never expected: fatherhood. The makers of The Angry Birds Movie 3 have released a new trailer, offering a glimpse of Jason Sudeikis returning as the hot-headed bird who must balance raising his children with another mission to save the world.
The upcoming animated sequel brings back familiar characters while introducing a new generation of birds into the story. Alongside its signature comedy and action, the trailer highlights Red's struggles as a father, suggesting that keeping his family together could prove just as difficult as facing the next big threat.
Angry Birds Movie 3 Trailer Introduces Red's New Life as a Father
The trailer shows Red and Silver navigating family life with their three children: Glider, June and Olly. Their personalities and different stages of growing up bring a fresh dynamic to the franchise, with Red discovering that parenting requires a different kind of patience from battling the pigs. While Red has previously saved Bird Island from danger, his responsibilities have now expanded. He must deal with everyday parenting challenges while preparing to face another threat that puts the world at risk.
The official synopsis captures the central conflict: "This holiday season, one angry bird will face his greatest challenge yet, surviving fatherhood… while saving the world!" The contrast between Red's familiar temper and his new responsibilities provides much of the trailer's humour. His attempts to manage family life are set against the larger adventure, giving the third instalment a more personal storyline.
Jason Sudeikis and Original Voice Cast Return
Jason Sudeikis reprises his role as Red, while Rachel Bloom returns as Silver. Josh Gad is back as Chuck, and Danny McBride once again voices Bomb. The returning cast helps maintain continuity with the first two films, while the new characters expand the franchise's world. Emma Myers voices June, Walker Scobell lends his voice to Glider, and Psalm West makes his voice-acting debut as the youngest child, Olly.
The expanded ensemble also features Keke Palmer, Lily James, Tim Robinson, Marcello Hernández, Sam Richardson, Anna Cathcart, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Nikki Glaser and James Austin Johnson. Content creators MrBeast and Salish Matter are also part of the voice cast. The combination of familiar performers and new additions gives the sequel a broader cast as it introduces Red and Silver's family to audiences.
