After an eight-year hiatus, the "Ice Age" franchise is set to return to the big screen with "Ice Age: Boiling Point," slated for release in early 2027. This morning, distributor Disney Studios unveiled the first trailer and a teaser poster (pictured below).
"Boiling Point" is directed by John C. Donkin, who previously helmed "The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild." The North American release is scheduled for February 5, 2027. While the official synopsis remains under wraps, the title and trailer strongly suggest that a volcanic eruption will be the latest challenge for the beloved prehistoric herd.

The returning voice cast includes Denis Leary as Diego, Ray Romano as Manny, Simon Pegg as Buck, Queen Latifah as Ellie, John Leguizamo as Sid, Sean William Scott as Crash, Josh Peck as Eddie, and Chris Wedge, who has long voiced Scrat and directed the first film. Additional cast members have yet to be announced.
Notably, Blue Sky Studios, the original creator of the "Ice Age" series, closed its doors five years ago. As a result, this installment is being produced solely by 20th Century Animation.
