Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget: Is it coming in April 2023? Here’s what we know about it

Chicken Run hit the big screen on June 23, 2000, and it caught the globe by storm. It is remains the most successful stop-motion film at the box office, grossing over $224 million, and is a global family favorite. The iconic fowl gang, created by Aardman Animation, a firm located in Bristol, United Kingdom, would function as the studio’s major break into the international scene, with beloved duo Wallace and Gromit. Having said that, it is surprising to find that Chicken Run did not result in a franchise, as there have been no sequels or spin-offs to yet. Now, with the release of Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget later this year, everything is set to change. In light of the foregoing, the following summarizes our current knowledge about Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget.

While we all are eagerly anticipating for this Chicken Run sequel, check out a few details we know about it.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget: Who are the voice cast?

One of the best ensemble voice casts ever put together in British animation was included in the first episode of Chicken Run. It is understandable why the actors of the movie received widespread praise from critics and the general public, from Mel Gibson and Timothy Spall to Phil Daniels and Julia Sawalha (Absolutely Fabulous). For the upcoming movie, Sawalha and Gibson won’t be reprising their roles as Ginger and Rocky; instead, Thandiwe Newton (Westworld) and Zachary Levi (Shazam!) will fill those parts, respectively.

Daniel Mays (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) will voice Fetcher in place of Daniels, while Romesh Ranganathan (Cinderella) will play Nick in place of Spall. Moreover, David Bradley, who played Pinocchio in Guillermo del Toro’s film, will replace the late Benjamin Whitrow as Fowler. But, Bunty, Babs, and Mac will all be back to reprise their roles thanks to Imelda Staunton (The Crown), Jane Horrocks (Corpse Bride), and Lynn Ferguson (No Angels).

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget: What is the plotline?

Most sequels will always flow naturally from their predecessors. There isn’t much information available about the narrative of Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget because production is still ongoing, but it appears that it will be similar to the previous installments. In addition to that, the synopsis of the film reads, “Having pulled off a death-defying escape from Tweedy’s farm, Ginger has finally found her dream – a peaceful island sanctuary for the whole flock, far from the dangers of the human world. When she and Rocky hatch a little girl called Molly, Ginger’s happy ending seems complete. But back on the mainland the whole of chicken-kind faces a new and terrible threat. For Ginger and her team, even if it means putting their own hard-won freedom at risk – this time, they’re breaking in.”

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget: Release Date

The global epidemic had a significant impact on the business and forced the postponement of several eagerly awaited films. According to the reports, the film might premiere on November 10, 2023.
