The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Teaser Arrives, Revealing Rosalina and Bowser Jr. Actors
Nintendo alongside Illumination shared the initial complete preview for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on Wednesday. It was showcased in a special Nintendo Direct that focused exclusively on the forthcoming animated feature.
Following up on the 2023 blockbuster The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this new installment will propel Mario to the outer limits of the cosmos. There, he will encounter a fresh princess character and a challenging new adversary in Bowser Jr., the offspring of the Koopa King.
A Space-Faring Quest Drawing from Classic Games
In the vein of the Wii console classics that act as its source material, Mario will leave behind the familiar comforts of the Mushroom Kingdom to travel across the galaxy. During his grand adventure, he will meet again some well-known personalities, including the Luma, a popular character from the previous film.
But it appears Mario and his sibling Luigi will confront a new threat in the form of Bowser's irate young son, who reportedly commands metallic abilities. Interestingly, the teaser for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not exclusively centered on visuals from the Galaxy games; it also includes nods to additional popular titles like Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.
Star-Studded Voice Cast Come Back and Grow
The film will feature once again of the initial voice actors, featuring Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek.
Joining the cast for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are Brie Larson, who will bring to life Rosalina, and Benny Safdie, set to embody Bowser Jr. The casting was verified by the CEO of Illumination, Chris Meledandri.
Mario's Major Moment
The new Mario movie is scheduled to arrive around the time of the 40-year celebration of the original Super Mario Bros. game. Beyond the film, 2026 looks set to be a important time for Mario and his allies.
Nintendo has a trio of new releases already confirmed for the upcoming year, featuring Mario Tennis Fever, a release on Switch 2 of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and a latest Yoshi adventure game titled Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.
Launch Date Set
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is officially set to be released on April 3, 2026.
