Universal Registers “Super Mario Galaxy Movie” as Next Big Sequel Title
United Gaming – Universal Pictures and Nintendo have officially announced their next Mario film: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. This sequel to the successful Super Mario Bros. Movie will premiere worldwide on April 3, 2026.
Before the confirmation, fans noticed unusual domain registrations under “supermariogalaxy.” These registrations appeared in several regions, including Europe and Latin America. The move triggered speculation that a sequel was in the works. Observers quickly linked the domains to Universal’s central infrastructure, increasing the buzz.
The title pays homage to Super Mario Galaxy, a hit Nintendo Wii game released in 2007. In the game, Mario explores planets, defeats enemies, and saves Princess Peach across the galaxy. The movie aims to capture this cosmic adventure through rich animation and compelling storytelling.
Chris Pratt (Mario), Anya Taylor-Joy (Peach), and Jack Black (Bowser) will reprise their roles. Directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic also return, ensuring a consistent visual tone and character style. Their involvement reassures fans of another faithful and fun adaptation.
The first teaser opens in the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom. It then shifts dramatically to a glowing, star-filled galaxy. This confirms the story’s direction and aligns with the original game’s theme of cosmic exploration and adventure.
Earlier rumors mentioned alternate titles like Super Mario Bros. 2 or Super Mario World. Some fans even spotted placeholder domains. However, the official announcement clarifies the true title and direction of the film: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
This new title marks a bold expansion of the Mario franchise. It opens up fresh storylines, introduces new characters, and revisits beloved ones. Audiences can expect zero-gravity battles, star-based powers, and unforgettable planetary visuals.
