‘Angry Birds’ Movie: ‘SNL’ Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, and ‘Eastbound and Down’ Danny McBride, and Keegan-Michael Key Join Cast [2016]

The Angry Birds movie is about to get flung on to the big screen with the some force. The hit app is getting turned into a new movie in 2016 and its not as bad as it sounds, that is according to the cast list, at least. The film is throwing every star they find to insure that the pig buster, bust the block as well. Some of the amazing names starting in the movie, include: Saturday Night Live stars Jason Sudeikis, Kate McKinnon, Maya Rudolph, and Bill Hader. A few other comedy heavyweights include, Workaholics’, Jillian Bell, Eastbound and Down’s Danny McBride, Key and Peele’s Keegan-Michael Key and Disney Frozen’s Josh Gad. However, the biggest name on the list is perhaps Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage.

The slingshot is loaded and you really couldn’t ask for a better batch of birds. Producer, John Cohen (Despicable Me) made a statement about the casting (via The Hollywood Reporter), reads:

"I'm extremely proud of this cast. Not only do we have Jason, Josh, Danny, Bill, Maya and Peter bringing these characters to life, but they're surrounded by an all-star ensemble of emerging comedic talent these are some of the funniest people out there today, and we're thrilled to have them all on board."
