By Evan CampbellSony Pictures and Rovio revealed the voice cast for the animated Angry Birds film today, including Peter Dinklage, Jason Sudeikis, and Maya Rudolph.
Sudeikis (We're the Millers, Horrible Bosses) will headline Angry Birds as Red, while Dinklage (Game of Thrones) will voice Mighty Eagle and Rudolph (Bridesmaids) will play Matilda. Josh Gad will also lend his voice to the project as Chuck, marking the actor's first animated movie since Frozen, the blockbuster hit for Disney.
Dinklage received criticism earlier this year for his voice-over work in Activision's blockbuster Destiny, though game developer Bungie chalked up some of the complaints to a beta build.
Other well-known actors joining the Angry Birds cast include Danny McBride (This Is the End) as Bomb and Bill Hader (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) as a member of the pork side. Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele) will also lend his voice to the flick, along with Arrested Development and Veep actor Tony Hale.

To round out the cast, the supporting actors for Angry Birds include*Kate McKinnon, Ike Barinholtz*(Neighbors, The Mindy Project), Hannibal Buress (Neighbors),*Cristela Alonzo, Jillian Bell*(22 Jump Street),*Danielle Brooks*(Orange is the New Black), singer Romeo Santos, and YouTube stars Smosh (Ian Andrew Hecox*and*Anthony Padilla).
Directed by Feral Reilly and Clay Kaytis, Angry Birds is set to debut in the United States on July 1, 2016.
