Earlier this morning, the official trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hit the web. Following up the mega hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this sequel expands the world of the video game franchise, suggesting an even bigger adventure. Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jack Black all return to their voice roles. Universal Pictures will release the film on April 3rd, 2026.
This is what Universal had to say about the movie in their press release:
The Galaxy Awaits.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is an animated film based on the world of Super Mario Bros., and follows The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which was released in 2023 and earned more than $1.3 billion worldwide. Both the 2023 film and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are produced by Chris Meledandri of Illumination and Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo.
The film will be co-financed by Universal Pictures and Nintendo and will be released worldwide by Universal Pictures.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is directed by returning filmmakers Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, from a screenplay by returning screenwriter Matthew Fogel, with Brian Tyler returning to compose the score.
Here now is the trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie:



I normally wouldn’t say something like this, but I hope this movie does well so that they greenlight The Super Mario Odyssey Movie and watch them try to figure out how to make it “work” without coming off slightly sinister and nightmarish.
Ha!
