Get ready for cosmic adventure! Nintendo and Illumination have released the first dazzling trailer for “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” promising a galactic journey filled with familiar faces and breathtaking new worlds. Set to hit theaters on April 3, 2026, this animated sequel to 2023’s blockbuster “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” takes inspiration from the beloved “Super Mario Galaxy” video game, catapulting Mario and Peach into a dazzling cosmic odyssey.
The trailer showcases Mario, voiced once again by Chris Pratt, and Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), leaping through a shimmering star portal alongside their trusty companions Luigi (Charlie Day) and Toad (Keegan-Michael Key). Their destination? A breathtaking expanse of unique planets beyond the confines of the Mushroom Kingdom.
This high-stakes mission isn’t just about sightseeing though – Bowser (Jack Black) remains the primary antagonist, holding Princess Peach captive in the heart of this celestial playground. To rescue her, Mario must collect enough Power Stars to fuel his spacefaring journey and confront Bowser at his intergalactic lair.
The trailer teases a captivating array of strange and fantastical environments reminiscent of the beloved video game. Imagine gravity-defying landscapes, vibrant alien flora, and challenges that test even the most nimble plumber’s skills. Fans will also spot nods to other classic games in the series like “Super Mario Odyssey” and “Super Mario Sunshine,” adding a layer of nostalgic delight.
Adding fresh star power to the cast are Brie Larson as the celestial guardian Rosalina, and Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr., who arrives on the scene with a mischievous vendetta against his dad’s captors. The trailer ends on a dramatic note with Rosalina facing off against a hulking mechanical menace, hinting at even grander threats lurking in this cosmic adventure.
With its stunning visuals, comedic timing, and promise of an expanded Mario universe, “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” looks poised to be another box office hit for Nintendo and Illumination, building on the phenomenal success of 2023’s film that grossed over $1.36 billion worldwide.
