Super Mario Galaxy Film Preview Is Here, Introducing Rosalina and Bowser Jr. Voice Cast
Nintendo and Illumination shared the debut comprehensive teaser for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on Wednesday. It was showcased in a special Nintendo Direct that highlighted the upcoming animated film.
The follow-up to the 2023 hit film The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this new installment will transport Mario to the distant reaches of the universe. There, he will encounter a fresh princess character and a challenging new adversary in Bowser Jr., the son of the King of the Koopas.
A Cosmic Adventure Inspired by Beloved Titles
Similar to the Wii-era games that serve as its inspiration, Mario will depart from the well-known surroundings of the Mushroom Kingdom to explore outer space. On his epic voyage, he will reunite with some well-known personalities, for instance the Luma, a fan favorite from the previous film.
But it appears Mario and his brother Luigi will confront a new threat in the form of Bowser's furious offspring, who reportedly wields metal-based powers. Worth mentioning, the preview for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not only concentrated on Galaxy-themed scenes; it also contains hints to further iconic releases like Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.
Celebrity Voice Actors Reprise Roles and Welcome Newcomers
The movie will see the return of the original voice cast, 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.
New additions to the ensemble for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are Brie Larson, who will portray Rosalina, and Benny Safdie, set to play Bowser Jr. The casting was verified by Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri.
Mario's Major Moment
Mario's latest cinematic adventure is scheduled to arrive around the time of the four-decade milestone of the first Super Mario Bros. title. Beyond the film, 2026 looks set to be a important time for Mario and his companions.
Nintendo confirmed a trio of new releases publicly declared for the upcoming year, featuring Mario Tennis Fever, a Switch 2 edition of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and a fresh Yoshi side-scroller titled Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.
Release Date Confirmed
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is planned for launch on April 3, 2026.
