Super Mario Galaxy Film Preview Is Here, Revealing Fresh Faces Rosalina & Bowser Jr. Voices

Nintendo alongside Illumination released the debut comprehensive teaser for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie midweek. This occurred during a dedicated Nintendo presentation that centered on the soon-to-release cartoon movie.

The follow-up to the successful 2023 release The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this new installment will transport Mario to the far corners of the galaxy. Along the way, he discovers a fresh princess character and a powerful new opponent in Bowser Jr., the offspring of the Koopa King.

A Space-Faring Quest Based on Iconic Releases

In the vein of the Wii-era games that serve as its inspiration, Mario will venture away from the cozy environment of the Mushroom Kingdom to explore outer space. On his epic voyage, he will encounter once more some familiar faces, such as the Luma, a popular character from the first movie.

But it appears Mario and his brother Luigi will battle a different foe in the form of Bowser's furious offspring, who reportedly commands metallic abilities. Notably, the preview for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not exclusively centered on visuals from the Galaxy games; it also features references to other beloved games like Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.

Celebrity Voice Actors Come Back and Grow

The film will see the return 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 portray Rosalina, and Benny Safdie, set to play Bowser Jr. It was announced by Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri.

A Significant Period for Mario

Mario's latest cinematic adventure is set to release around the time of the 40-year celebration of the initial Super Mario Bros. release. Apart from the cinematic release, 2026 is shaping up to be a important time for Mario and his friends.

The company has three new games officially announced for that year, featuring Mario Tennis Fever, a Switch 2 edition of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and a new Yoshi platformer titled Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.

Premiere Date Announced

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is scheduled to hit theaters on April 3, 2026.
