Nintendo Confirms The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
Coming April 2026 With First Teaser Trailer
----------------------------------------------
Nintendo kicked off today's September 2025 Nintendo Direct with
confirmation that Illumination is back working on a new Super
Mario Bros. Movie titled The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

It's confirmation that arrives after rumors swept the internet
yesterday, revealing that Nintendo will indeed be partnering up
with the Minions movie studio yet again to create a movie
adaptation of the classic 2007 Wii platformer. It's slated to
arrive in the U.S. April 3, 2026, and in Japan April 24, 2026,
with its first trailer revealing a small amount of footage
before showing off its official title and logo.

Today's announcement also revealed some of The Super Mario
Galaxy Movie's cast. It's a lineup that focuses on returning
names that shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, with Chris
Pratt back as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy back as Princess Peach,
Charlie Day back as Luigi, Jack Black back as Bowser,
Keegan-Michael Key back as Toad, and Kevin Michael Richardson
back as Kamek.

Of course, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has a lot of potential
for newcomers to the cast, too. Who will play Rosalina is
likely the question on the minds of most fans, as the
storytelling icon first made her debut in the original 2007 game
but didn't show up for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The last
film also teased a potential appearance from Yoshi, though it's
unclear if Mario's dinosaur companion will have any speaking
lines when or if he eventually appears.
