It was no secret that Columbia Pictures and Rovio Entertainment were keen on a follow-up to last year's animated Angry Birds Movie. And now what was presumed is official, as The Angry Birds Movie 2 (creative title) will launch into theaters on Sept. 20, 2019. The film will be co-directed by John Rice (King of the Hill, Rick and Morty), who served as lead storyboard artist on The Angry Birds Movie and directed the popular Angry Birds Hatchlings shorts. It's possible that audiences, kids and adults, were merely curious to see an animated Angry Birds movie without necessarily craving a franchise. So, come what may, The Angry Birds Movie 2 opens Sept. 20, 2019.
