Article Summary

  • Illumination and Universal debut seven new character posters for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
  • The film promises a return of classic Mario characters, including Yoshi and Baby Mario, from the iconic games.
  • Following the massive success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the sequel aims even higher at the box office.
  • The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is set for a worldwide theatrical release on April 3, 2026.

Illumination is going big this year, and if any animated studio has the opportunity to completely dominate the box office, it's them. They would have that opportunity with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie by itself, and it does seem like they are leaning in just as hard with this one as they did with the first one. Despite referencing a 2000s-era game, this movie is bringing back some old-school concepts like Yoshi and Baby Mario. There's a lot going on, and that is very apparent when you look at the new character posters, which were released.
