Angry Birds Movie Cast Release Date: Angry Birds will swoop into theaters on July 1, 2016. One billion birds were slung in the Angry Birds game. Columbia Pictures and Rovio announced that the film based on the runaway video game hit will have an all-star cast led by Jason Sudeikis as Red, Josh Gad as Chuck, Danny Mcbride as Bomb, Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph and Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage.

Dwight Caines, president, Theatrical Marketing for Sony Pictures, said, "With two and a half billion gamers around the world, Angry Birds is one of those brands that can drive massive fan engagement.  That's why we wanted to bring this unlock to the fans first.  Our filmmakers are cooking up a hilarious movie, and we know these fans can't wait to see how they're going to bring the Angry Birds' story to life on the big screen of movie theaters."

Danny McBride from the film "This is the End" and the series "Eastbound & Down" plays the volatile Bomb.  Bill Hader, who just ended his tenure at "Saturday Night Live," but also voiced a character in the animated film "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" is the pork side. Maya Rudolph from "Bridesmaids" and "The Maya Rudolph Show," will play Matilda. Peter Dinklage, from HBO's "Game of Thrones" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" soars as the legendary Mighty Eagle.
