Angry Birds Movie 3 trailer features JISOO’s Sun Showers

Paramount’s new trailer for The Angry Birds Movie 3 gives the animated sequel a fresh musical connection: “Sun Showers,” an original song by BLACKPINK member JISOO. The November 4 preview arrives ahead of the film’s scheduled December 23, 2026, U.S. theatrical release, with Jason Sudeikis returning as Red and a familiar group of voices joining him for a story built around fatherhood.

The song and the family storyline offer two entry points into the same film. Music fans get a preview of JISOO’s contribution, while audiences who remember the earlier movies find Red in a different stage of life. He is still responsible for helping save the world, but his home has become a much larger part of what he needs to protect. The Upcoming reports the new trailer and song; Paramount confirms the current release date and fatherhood premise.

What is JISOO contributing to the film?

“Sun Showers” is a music contribution, not an announced voice-acting role. The current official cast roster does not list JISOO as a character performer, so the confirmed connection is the song.

Billboard Philippines, reporting on The Hollywood Reporter’s original announcement, says JISOO co-wrote the track. It also relays her description of wanting a cheerful song that fits the film’s playful mood. That is an account of her stated creative aim, rather than a review of a complete recording that has not been independently assessed here.

The announcement follows her recent solo release ADDICTED, which NewsCubby covered in its report on the single’s release and early audience response. Readers following that music rollout should treat “Sun Showers” as a separate film-related project unless the artist or label supplies a more specific connection to a future album. No soundtrack track list, album placement or single-release timetable is established by the trailer alone.

Why is Red a father this time?

Rovio’s first-trailer announcement introduced Red as a father with three children. That change had already been part of the film’s promotion before the latest preview. November’s trailer builds on an existing family premise rather than announcing it for the first time.

The shift gives the series a clear new source of comedy. A character who once had difficulty fitting into his own community now has people depending on him at home. The earlier adventures made his anger useful during a crisis; a family story can put that same temperament into situations where patience and understanding matter. That is a reading of the announced premise, not a claim about how the finished film resolves Red’s problems.

Paramount’s official synopsis keeps both sides of the story in view: fatherhood and another effort to save the world. For parents familiar with the franchise, the domestic setup is an understandable change of stakes. Red’s responsibilities have grown, even if the film still uses the outsized threats and physical comedy associated with these characters.

How does this connect to the earlier Angry Birds movies?

The original film introduced Red, Chuck and Bomb as outsiders in a community of mostly contented, flightless birds. According to Sony’s official synopsis, the arrival of mysterious green pigs gave the unlikely trio a reason to investigate together. Their unusual personalities became part of the solution when their island faced trouble.

The 2019 sequel changed the relationships again. Sony’s second-film synopsis describes a new threat to both Bird Island and Pig Island, forcing former rivals into an uneasy alliance. Silver, identified as Chuck’s sister, joined that effort. Cooperation extended beyond the original group of friends to characters who previously stood on opposite sides.

Read together, those official descriptions show how the films have repeatedly changed the people Red must work with. The first brought outsiders together. The second asked enemies to cooperate. The third adds the daily demands of a household. That progression supplies context for the sequel without assuming viewers remember every joke or minor character from movies released years apart.

Which familiar voices are returning?

The central returning group remains easy to recognize: Sudeikis as Red, Gad as Chuck, Bloom as Silver and McBride as Bomb. Rovio confirmed those roles in its distribution and casting announcement. Its old release date should not be confused with the current schedule, but the announcement remains useful for the established character assignments.

The current character guide describes Chuck as quick, impulsive and eager for friendship. Bomb’s tendency to explode makes him more cautious than his power might suggest. Silver is an inventive problem-solver who relies on evidence and expertise. Those contrasting qualities explain why keeping the core ensemble matters: Red is surrounded by characters who approach problems very differently.

Rovio’s casting announcement also lists Emma Myers, Keke Palmer, Lily James, Tim Robinson, Sam Richardson, Anna Cathcart and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. The finished film, rather than the length of the cast list, will show how the new roles fit around the returning group.

Who is making the third film?

The production has been public for more than two years. Rovio’s June 6, 2024 announcement named John Rice as director and Thurop Van Orman as screenwriter, with DNEG Animation attached to the project. The announcement identified Sudeikis and Gad as returning performers at that early stage.

The filmmaking credits also show the work beyond the celebrity voices. DNEG’s responsibilities include storyboards, art development and animation. The announced creative team includes production designer Jeanie Chang, character designer Francesca Natale, head of story Vadim Bazhanov and editor Sarah K. Reimers. Those departments determine how the characters look, move and fit together across a feature-length story.

The later casting announcement said composer Heitor Pereira, who scored the earlier Angry Birds films, would return. His score and JISOO’s original song are separate parts of the movie’s music. A soundtrack song can become a promotional focal point while a composer’s score supports scenes throughout the film. Neither credit tells us where the full “Sun Showers” recording will appear in the finished movie.

Why do some listings still say January 2027?

The film’s schedule changed after its earlier distribution announcement. Rovio’s September 2025 update explicitly moved the release from January 29, 2027, to December 23, 2026. Both Paramount and the official Angry Birds movie page now display the December date.

For U.S. readers, December 23 is the date to use when planning a theatrical visit. International dates can differ, so a local cinema listing remains the practical source for a particular country or city. A U.S. release announcement should not be turned into a claim that every market receives the film on exactly the same day.

What should viewers watch for next?

For JISOO listeners, the next useful update is an official release announcement for the complete song. For moviegoers, the remaining questions include how the new family relationships shape the full adventure and how the expanded cast is used. A trailer supplies a sample of the film’s tone, not a complete account of its plot or quality.

The new preview is available through the official Angry Birds movie page, which links directly to Paramount’s trailer. The clearest confirmed picture is a familiar voice ensemble, a new family chapter and a JISOO song arriving in the promotional campaign. The movie itself is scheduled for U.S. theaters on December 23.
