8 Movie Sequels You Didn't Know Were Coming In 2019
5. The Angry Birds Movie 2
It's depressing to note that The Angry Birds Movie may be the single best video game adaptation ever made, but in a sub-genre populated by the likes of Assassin's Creed and Super Mario Bros, that's not as impressive a feat as it might seem.
The first movie made almost $350 million worldwide - which is nothing to sneeze at - and that gross makes this sequel a smart and logical choice.
The Angry Birds Movie 2 will feature several new creative players, including a fresh director (and co-director) and writer, with John Cohen returning as producer. But one thing that isn't clear is whether or not any of the original film's characters (and voice actors) will return.
The first starred Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage, Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph and Kate McKinnon, and these vocal talents were one of the biggest reasons the film worked so well, so it would be a shame to not see them utilised again.
Production is currently full-steam ahead so a casting announcement can't be too far off, but with a handful of new crew members working on the sequel, you can't help but wonder if they're going to shake things up in a big way.
