Talking about expanding the Angry Birds universe with the spin-off he said, “We were excited to make the first part of the Angry Birds movie and bring the key things to games live. After that went on to become a huge success in 2016, we wanted to do the second part and started working on this. We couldn’t stop ourselves because we have given the audience, characters that are super fun.”

We developed the characters first and then approached the stars, who currently is the best in comedy. We then sat with the cast and discussed the idea and the story arch. Later, we tailored the character to specific actors and their comedic sensibilities,” he revealed.
