The first trailer for *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie* has landed, and as expected, it promises an interstellar adventure for the moustachioed plumber and his assembled crew of Mushroom Kingdom allies.
The trailer kicks off with Bowser being confined to a miniature version of his castle. While he’s dealing with some deep-rooted anger issues, he’s also found the time to paint a rather revealing painting of himself and Princess Peach together. Naturally, Mario doesn’t take too kindly to that.
On the more cosmic end of the scale, a flurry of meteors passes over the Mushroom Kingdom, setting the stage for an adventure among the stars. Along the way, Mario and Luigi head to *Super Mario Odyssey*’s Sand Kingdom, while newcomer Rosalina is being chased down by villain Bowser Jr. in his *Super Mario Galaxy* contraption, Megaleg.
As for new castings, *Captain Marvel* actor Brie Larson joins the Marvel universe as the “cosmic protector” Rosalina. Benny Safdie, meanwhile, is voicing Bowser Jr.
Previously, a pair of *Super Mario Galaxy Movie* leaks hinted at what to expect from this out-of-this-world sequel. These included an Old Spice collaboration unveiling Yoshi’s movie design ahead of time, with a pack of Pillsbury cookies tipping off fans to the inclusion of both the Comet Observatory and series villain Bowser Jr.
Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has recently given an update on *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie*, telling fans that the sequel to the billion-dollar 2023 hit has entered the “final stages” of production.
“We’re in the final stages of production now, but I think it’s going to be fun,” Miyamoto teased in an interview with Japanese magazine *Casa Brutus* (H/T VGC). “I usually just say, ‘I’ll keep working on it until it becomes fun,’ so that alone should tell you how confident I am.”
Away from Mario, Nintendo is also working on a live-action *The Legend of Zelda* movie with Sony. However, the project has been slightly delayed and is now scheduled for release on May 7, 2027.
*The Super Mario Galaxy Movie* is set to hit cinemas on April 3, 2026. Fans can look forward to an epic cosmic journey with their favorite characters very soon!
