Ice Age: Boiling Point is an upcoming American animated adventure comedy film produced by 20th Century Animation. It will serve as a sequel to Ice Age: Collision Course (2016), the sixth main installment and seventh overall installment in the Ice Age film series. Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Simon Pegg, and Queen Latifah will reprise their roles from the previous films. It will be the first theatrical Ice Age film not to be produced by Blue Sky Studios, following its closure in April 2021.
Plans for a sixth Ice Age film were announced in June 2016, when co-director Galen T. Chu stated that there were some ideas for the sixth installment, though Bustle noted that the chances of a sixth entry were relatively high but would depend on the box office performance of the fifth film. The film was eventually revealed to be in development by Leguizamo in September 2024, with updates arriving that November.
Ice Age: Boiling Point is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on February 5, 2027 by 20th Century Studios.
On the possibility of a potential sequel to Ice Age: Collision Course in June 2016, co-director Galen T. Chu said that there were some ideas for the sixth installment of the Ice Age series. [3] Blue Sky Studios shut down on April 10, 2021 [4] and, consequently, many of their upcoming projects were cancelled.
In February 2022, producer Lori Forte discussed the possibility of a sequel while promoting The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild , saying, "I think it's a little premature. We hope that people will respond to this, and that will promote us to be able to do another movie. If the audiences want it, we've got plenty of ideas. There's no end to ideas and adventures and characters, so we're ready if they're ready." [5]
In September 2024, John Leguizamo, the voice of Sid in the Ice Age films, revealed that the sixth film was in development. [6] By November 2024, during the D23 fan event in Brazil, the film was officially announced to be in production with Ray Romano, Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Simon Pegg, and Queen Latifah reprising their roles from the previous films. [2] In August 2025, it was announced that the film had been titled Ice Age: Boiling Point. [7]
Ice Age: Boiling Point is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on February 5, 2027. [8] It was previously scheduled to be released on December 18, 2026, [9] but after Avengers: Doomsday was delayed to that date in May 2025, Boiling Point was expected to be moved to a new release date in the following weeks to avoid competition with Doomsday and Dune: Part Three . [10] Boiling Point was officially delayed to its February 2027 date in August 2025. [8]
