At The Game Awards, Nintendo and Illumination unveiled brand-new footage from the highly anticipated Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
Building on the legacy of the Super Mario series—known for its major success on platforms like the Nintendo Switch—this animated film ramps up excitement ahead of its theatrical debut next spring.
With release dates set for April 3, 2026 in the United States and April 24, 2026 in Japan, the project cements Nintendo’s growing footprint in cinematic entertainment following their successful 2023 Super Mario Bros.
Movie adaptation. The recently premiered clip offers an extended look at a pivotal scene first teased in an earlier trailer.
In this sequence, Mario and Luigi are confronted by Bowser Jr., who asserts his intentions to reclaim his father—still shrunk in stature following the outcome of the previous film.
Viewers are treated to a dynamic showdown, notably witnessing Luigi execute a spectacular attack reminiscent of iconic video game moves, underlining the brotherly teamwork the franchise is celebrated for. Nintendo and Illumination continue their collaboration, bringing together a stellar cast for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
Oscar-winner Brie Larson joins the ensemble as Rosalina, while acclaimed actor Benny Safdie steps into the role of Bowser Jr.
These casting choices have generated significant buzz, building on the film’s momentum and reinforcing expectations for quality storytelling and top-tier animation. The original Super Mario Galaxy game, released on the Nintendo Wii in 2007, received widespread critical acclaim and became a cornerstone of the franchise’s presence on Nintendo platforms.
This cinematic adaptation promises to pay homage to that legacy, integrating creative references and action sequences recognizable to longtime fans and industry insiders alike. Tickets for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be available ahead of the April premiere.
Fans can look forward to more promotional material and official trailers leading up to release, offering deeper insights into the film’s storyline, voice cast, and musical score.
