The highly-anticipated release of "The Angry Birds Movie" is just around the corner. For the last couple of years ---since 2011 to be exact--- the movie has been in the works and since has teased fans on social media with trailers, small previews, photos, and more. In fact, in 2014 it was announced that Romeo Santos will be part of the upcoming animated flick.

Now, just one month ahead of the movie's theatrical debut, Sony and Rovio Entertainment present a preview of Romeo's character. Although we're yet to know the name of his role, we can tell from the look of the first photo that the fluffy, yellow birdie is a caring family man with a loving wife and a bunch of adorable kids! The picture also demonstrates, not an angry bird, but rather a stressful one. This is the second film appearance by the King of Bachata, following his acting debut role as Cristian Marambio in 2015's "Fast and Furious 7."
