Heitor Pereira, who composed in the first film, returns to compose the score of The Angry Birds Movie 2. On July 25, 2019, American singer-songwriter Kesha released her song "Best Day" for the film as a single. Days later, Luke Combs released a song, "Let's Just Be Friends" for the film as a single as well. Both singles were played in the film's end credits.

## Production

A sequel to *The Angry Birds Movie* was announced in August 2016. It will be directed by *The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack* creator Thurop Van Orman, co-directed by John Rice, and written by Peter Ackerman. John Cohen will return from *The Angry Birds Movie* to serve as producer, with animation again handled by Sony Pictures Imageworks. Imageworks' sister studio Sony Pictures Animation will release the film under their banner, despite having dropped out of co-producing the project beforehand and had not co-produced the first film either.

In the summer of 2017, production designer Pete Oswald stated that the sequel would be more of an adventure movie that introduces new characters and locations into the world established in *The Angry Birds Movie*. While he was not in a position to offer further details about the plot and characters, which remained highly unknown until the months before the film's release, he expressed hope that it would be a better film than the first installment.

In April 2018, the majority of the voice cast was announced. Sudeikis, Gad, McBride, Hader, Rudolphand Dinklage will reprise their roles from the first film. Jones will voice a new female villain, revealed to be Zeta in the teaser trailer. In December 2018, Nicki Minaj joined the cast of the film. Upon its release, the teaser trailer briefly revealed that Hal, a green boomerang bird from the first film, will return in the sequel. Anthony Padilla would return to voice Hal. The following day, producer John Cohen announced in a tweet that Awkwafina will voice Courtney, the first named female pig in the *Angry Birds* franchise that briefly appeared in the teaser.

When the film's first full trailer was released on March 27, 2019, more details about the sequel's characters and their voice roles were revealed. Among several new characters confirmed to appear in the movie was Silver, a bird first introduced in the *Angry Birds 2* game. In June, *People* revealed the identity of the white bird living with Zeta in the teaser trailer, as Debbie, voiced by Tiffany Haddish, one of several voice actors who were not listed in the initial casting.
