The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Preview Is Here, Unveiling Fresh Faces Rosalina & Bowser Jr. Voice Cast
Nintendo alongside Illumination shared the first full-length trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on Wednesday. This occurred during a Nintendo-focused broadcast that highlighted the soon-to-release cartoon movie.
The sequel to the successful 2023 release The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this latest chapter will send Mario to the far corners of the universe. In his journey, he meets a different royal figure and a formidable new rival in Bowser Jr., the offspring of the Koopa King.
A Cosmic Adventure Based on Beloved Titles
In the vein of the Wii-era games that serve as its inspiration, Mario will leave behind the well-known surroundings of the Mushroom Kingdom to travel across the galaxy. During his grand adventure, he will encounter once more some familiar faces, for instance the Luma, a popular character from the original cinematic release.
But it appears Mario and his sibling Luigi will battle a different foe in the form of Bowser's furious offspring, who apparently commands metallic abilities. Interestingly, the trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not only concentrated on Galaxy-inspired imagery; it also contains hints to further iconic releases like Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.
Celebrity Voice Actors Come Back and Grow
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.
Joining the cast for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are Brie Larson, who will bring to life Rosalina, and Benny Safdie, set to embody Bowser Jr. The casting was verified by the CEO of Illumination, Chris Meledandri.
A Big Year for Mario
Mario's latest cinematic adventure is scheduled to arrive around the time of the four-decade milestone of the original Super Mario Bros. game. In addition to the movie, 2026 is shaping up to be a major period for Mario and his friends.
Nintendo has three new games already confirmed for that year, including Mario Tennis Fever, a release on Switch 2 of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and a latest Yoshi adventure game titled Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.
Premiere Date Announced
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is planned for launch on April 3, 2026.
