Super Mario Galaxy Film Teaser Arrives, Revealing New Characters Rosalina & Bowser Jr. Voices

Nintendo alongside Illumination released the debut comprehensive teaser for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie this Wednesday. This occurred during a Nintendo-focused broadcast that centered on the forthcoming animated feature.

The follow-up to the successful 2023 release The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this latest chapter will send Mario to the far corners of the universe. There, he will encounter a fresh princess character and a formidable new rival in Bowser Jr., the son of the King of the Koopas.

A Cosmic Adventure Based on Classic Games

Much like the games from the Wii period that act as its source material, Mario will leave behind the well-known surroundings of the Mushroom Kingdom to journey through the cosmos. Throughout his extensive trek, he will meet again some familiar faces, including the Luma, a fan favorite from the previous film.

But it appears Mario and his brother Luigi will face a fresh enemy in the form of Bowser's irate young son, who apparently wields metal-based powers. Interestingly, the trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not exclusively centered on Galaxy-themed scenes; it also includes nods to additional popular titles like Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.

Celebrity Voice Actors Returns and Expands

The movie 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.

Fresh faces in the lineup for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are Brie Larson, who will voice Rosalina, and Benny Safdie, set to play Bowser Jr. The casting was verified by Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri.

A Significant Period for Mario

The new Mario movie is planned to debut around the time of the 40th anniversary of the first Super Mario Bros. title. Beyond the film, 2026 looks set to be a significant year for Mario and his friends.

The company has a trio of new releases officially announced for the upcoming year, such as Mario Tennis Fever, a version for Switch 2 of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and a fresh Yoshi side-scroller titled Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.

Launch Date Set

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is officially set to be released on April 3, 2026.
