Trailer for "The Angry Birds Movie 3" unveiled; Jason Sudeikis returns, film set for Dec. 23 debut

A trailer for The Angry Birds Movie 3 was unveiled in an exclusive segment on CBS Mornings, with the network presenting the first public look at the next animated feature in the Angry Birds franchise. The new preview spotlights the return of Jason Sudeikis, who is announced as a starring voice in the film.

The CBS News segment said the movie will debut in theaters on Dec. 23, setting a holiday release date for the installment. The trailer reveal was presented as an exclusive first look, with CBS describing the trailer as freshly unveiled ahead of the film’s rollout.

In the announcement tied to the trailer premiere, CBS News identified the film as The Angry Birds Movie 3 and linked its release plan to the Dec. 23 theater opening. The network also reiterated the starring role of Sudeikis, indicating his voice work will be part of the franchise’s next chapter.

The Angry Birds animated films have been built around voice performances and character-focused storytelling adapted from the Angry Birds brand. With the third installment, the production is again positioned to reach families and younger audiences through a major theatrical window rather than a streaming-only release, according to the timing described in the trailer unveiling.

While the CBS report centered on the trailer and release date, it did not provide additional details in its published package about plot specifics, supporting cast size beyond Sudeikis, or production studio ownership. The trailer premiere therefore functions primarily as a scheduling and casting confirmation ahead of a broader promotional campaign closer to the fall and early winter release window.

For theater operators and distributors, a Dec. 23 opening can carry practical scheduling implications for screens, staffing, and holiday-weekend programming. For audiences, it also establishes a clear timeline for when the franchise will be available in cinemas, which may affect how families plan outings during the late-December period.

As the release date approaches, further information about additional cast members, voice roles, and marketing partnerships would typically be expected from the film’s studio and distribution partners. For now, the confirmed points from the trailer unveiling include the existence of The Angry Birds Movie 3, the starring voice role for Jason Sudeikis, and the announced Dec. 23 theater debut.
