Fulfilling further Super Mario Brothers dreams, Nintendo and Illumination just launched the trailer for next year’s animated spectacle “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.”

Due in April of 2026, this bigscreen adaptation is partly derived from the wildly addictive “Super Mario Galaxy”video gamethat first hit the Nintendo Wii platform back in 2007. That digital amusement revolved around our favorite plucky plumber gallivanting through the cosmos on a mission to gather enough Power Stars to allow his spaceship to venture into the heart ofthe universeto the location where the dastardly Bowser is holding Princess Peach prisoner.

This upcoming project serves as a sequel to 2023’s “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” which collected an astounding $1.36 billion in total box office bucks, and will again be directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic from a screenplay by Matthew Fogel.

With some plot details liberally pulled from the “Super Mario Odyssey” and “Super Mario Sunshine” games, “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” showcases the vocal talents of Brie Larson (Rosalina) and Benny Safdie (Bowser Jr.) in addition to returning stars Chris Pratt (Mario), Anya Taylor-Joy (Princess Peach), Jack Black (Bowser), Keegan-Michael Key (Toad), and Charlie Day (Luigi).
