The Super Mario Galaxy Movie: Release Date, Trailer, Cast, Plot & More

After taking us on a trip back to our childhood with the Super Mario movie, the dynamic duo of the red and green Italian brothers is set to return with the Super Mario Galaxy movie. This movie has been a topic of discussion among the fan base for some time now, and recently, we received the first trailer for the upcoming film, along with additional details. And here is everything you need to know about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s release date, cast, trailer, plot, and more.

What Is the Release Date of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

The release date of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is April 3, 2026. There is 3 years gap between the first movie and the sequel, as the former was released on April 5, 2023. The release date of this upcoming movie was announced on a special Nintendo Direct held on September 12, 2025, where other details and first looks were also revealed.

Do We Have a Trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?

The first trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy movie was released on September 12, 2025, on a special Nintendo Direct. The trailer introduces us to new characters, such as Rosalina, voiced by Brie Larson, and Bowser Jr.

Other than that, the trailer itself does not reveal much about the plot. However, one thing I would say is that the VFX work done on this movie appears to be way better than the one we witnessed in the previous one. So, let’s wait and see what Nintendo and Illumination have in store for us this time around.

Who Is in the Cast of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?

As of now, the confirmed cast of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie consists of Chris Pratt as Mario, who brought the beloved game character to life in one of the best ways possible. Other than that, we will get to see Charlie Day as Mario’s brother, Luigi. Anya Taylor-Joy will appear as Princess Peach, along with Jack Black as the villainous Bowser, and of course, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad. The Super Mario Galaxy movie will also witness the return of Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek. Talking about newcomers, we will get to see Brie Larson as Princess Rosalina and Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Cast List

• Chris Pratt– Mario
• Charlie Day– Luigi
• Anya Taylor-Joy– Princess Peach
• Jack Black-Bowser
• Keegan-Michael Key– Toad
• Kevin Michael Richardson- Kamek
• Brie Larson– Princess Rosalina
• Benny Safdie– Bowser Jr

What Could Be the Plot of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?

As of now, not a lot of details regarding the plot of the Super Mario Galaxy movie are available to us; however, we can make a few educated guesses based on the game associated with the movie. The game tells us of a Star Festival where the characters come together to watch a passing comet, but the festival is jeopardized by Bowser when he kidnaps Princess Peach by taking her entire castle into outer space. To save Peach, Mario heads into outer space himself, and in his quest, he meets Princess Rosalina, who takes care of small star-like creatures named Luma.

She also tells Mario that she is also a victim of Bowser and that her home, Comet Observatory, was attacked by him, and Bowser stole its power source, named Power Stars, which is why it’s stuck in space. Now, Mario heads out on a mission to recover the Power Stars and save Princess Peach from Bowser.

Now, it is unlikely that this very story will be adapted into the movie since the desert scene in the trailer points to that there would be elements from Super Mario Odyssey, so let’s wait and see what awaits us as The Super Mario Galaxy releases.
