Super Mario Galaxy Movie Details and Release Date
"The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" is a masterful collaboration between Illumination and Nintendo, two giants in the entertainment industry.
This ambitious production is distributed globally by Universal Pictures, promising a wide reach for audiences worldwide.
The directors are again Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, who previously worked on "The Super Mario Bros. Movie."
Meanwhile, the script is entrusted to Matthew Fogel, a renowned storyteller.
The film's release schedule has been carefully crafted to reach a global audience.
Audiences in the United States and many other international markets can expect Mario's adventures starting April 3, 2026.
Meanwhile, fans in Japan will have to wait a little longer, with a release date scheduled for April 24, 2026.
The film's primary inspiration comes from the legendary 2007 video game "Super Mario Galaxy," a beloved title.
Returning Voice Cast and New Character
Chris Pratt brings Mario to life with his distinctive voice, accompanied by Anya Taylor-Joy as the graceful Princess Peach.
Charlie Day will also return as the timid but loyal Luigi, while Jack Black is set to reprise his role as the charismatic Bowser.
The familiar voice cast is further enhanced by the return of Keegan-Michael Key as the cheerful Toad and Kevin Michael Richardson as the cunning Kamek.
The trailer also officially introduces two new characters that fans have been anticipating.
Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson will voice Rosalina, a mysterious character known as the "Watcher of the Stars."
Rosalina's presence is expected to bring a new dimension to the film's narrative, especially given her crucial role in the galactic universe.
In addition to Rosalina, Bowser Jr. will also make his big screen debut, voiced by Benny Safdie.
Bowser Jr. features his signature brush from the "Super Mario Sunshine" games and an attractive futuristic design.
Plot and Cross-Galaxy Adventure
The first glimpse of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer provides an intriguing glimpse into the storyline.
The trailer opens with Bowser painting in his castle, still miniature after consuming a Mini Mushroom at the end of the previous film.
This moment hints at a direct continuation of the first film's narrative, with lingering consequences.
The main adventure appears to take Mario and Peach to a broader dimension.
They are seen jumping into a mysterious star-shaped portal, which then transports them into space.
One of the most thrilling moments in the trailer is the heroic appearance of Rosalina.
She is seen in action against Megaleg, the iconic robot boss from the "Mario Galaxy" games, demonstrating her power and role as a guardian of the stars.
Furthermore, Bowser Jr. is also introduced as a significant new force.
He appears with a futuristic design and metallic armor, on a mission to rescue his father, Bowser.
This indicates that Bowser Jr. will likely be the main antagonist, or at least the driving force behind the film's conflict, continuing the Koopa family's legacy of evil.
While primarily inspired by "Super Mario Galaxy," the film also doesn't shy away from using elements from other games.
Fans will recognize references to "Super Mario Odyssey" and "Super Mario Sunshine," which further enriched the Mario universe on the big screen.
Producer Chris Meledandri also hinted at many new characters, including "deep cuts" that longtime fans will recognize, though Yoshi hasn't been seen in this trailer.
