"Following the massive success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which made more than $1.3 billion worldwide in 2023, animation studio Illumination and Nintendo are releasing a sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, in April 2026. Nintendo dropped a teaser trailer during its Direct presentation on Friday. The teaser doesn't offer much about the movie, which takes its name from the 2007 platformer.Mario"
"It's no coincidence that the trailer and accompanying announcement come just one day before the 40th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. video game. In the four decades since that game's release, Mario-and Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, and other assorted characters-have become cultural icons. In 1993, Super Mario Bros. became one of the earliest videogame film adaptations. It was panned by critics and fans, but in the years since games ranging from Mortal Kombat to Tomb Raider have been turned into movies."
Illumination and Nintendo will release The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in April 2026, with a teaser trailer shown during Nintendo's Direct presentation. The teaser offers little plot detail: Mario dozes in a field before title credits appear. The announcement coincides with the 40th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. game. Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser and other characters have become cultural icons over four decades. Super Mario Bros. (1993) was an early, poorly received videogame film adaptation, while The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) grossed more than $1.3 billion worldwide. The original cast will return and remastered versions of Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel arrive October 2.
