'Angry Birds' News: A Popular Celebrity Joins The Cast

A new voice will be joining the comedic cast of the highly anticipated animated movie, "Angry Birds."

Even though the movie adaptation of the hit mobile game, "Angry Birds" will premiere in theaters in almost a month, it was recently announced that a new actor has joined the cast. Fans can expect to hear Sean Penn take on a character in the upcoming film.

While his character has yet to be seen, reports stated that the character will be named Terence. He will be a silent but tough character, as described by Cinema Blend. Terence is a large red bird, who is bigger than the other birds in the film.

It was revealed that he will meet Red, the main character of the film, during an anger management class. Since his involvement in the film was just announced, there is still a lot of questions regarding the size of his role. There are speculations that the character will communicate in mere grunts, which will be an interesting addition to the film.

There is also no announcement explaining if he will be a major character, or just a cameo. With that, fans will just have to wait and see how Terence will interact with the rest of the group. The upcoming film is expected to follow the story of Red, Chuck, and Bomb, who are outcasts due to their unfavorable attitudes.

Josh Gad, who plays the role of Chuck, recently shared his excitement about the animated film. Gad said that he is looking forward to have the fans experience the beauty of the movie. According to IGN, he said, "It's really irreverent, and like that LEGO Movie sensibility it's subversive and funny and unexpectedly smart and really beautiful. Actually gorgeous. The little I've seen of it has really impressed me."

"Angry Birds" is expected to hit theaters this May. 20'
