The main voice cast is returning for the sequel: Chris Pratt as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as the anthropomorphic mushroom Toad, and Kevin Michael Richardson as Bowser's advisor and informant Kamek. We're also getting two new cast members: Brie Larson as Princess Rosalina, protector of the cosmos and the Lumas; and Benny Safdie as Bowser, Jr., Bowser's son and heir to the throne.

The livestream will be available Wednesday, November 12, at 9:00 a.m. ET for the special Nintendo Direct. "Please note that no game information will be included in this presentation," the company cautioned. Still, that gives us the rest of the day to wrap our minds around whichever new stars have been cast to bring the latest trip back to the Mushroom Kingdom to life.

Rosalina isn't in the original version of the game. However, Nintendo did state during the trailer that there would be additional new content coming to the Switch 2 Edition of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but that it would share more details at a later date. It certainly seems like Rosalina might be one of the surprises Nintendo was looking to keep under wraps until closer to the game's release.

Today's Nintendo Direct featured all kinds of announcements and reveals, from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie to a new Yoshi game to a Metroid Prime 4: Beyond release date and more. It also featured a fresh batch of amiibo releasing over the coming months for games like Super Mario Galaxy 1 and Super Mario Galaxy 2, Kirby Air Riders, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
