The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Teaser Is Here, Unveiling New Characters Rosalina & Bowser Jr. Voice Cast

The collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination unveiled the debut comprehensive teaser for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on Wednesday. This occurred during a Nintendo-focused broadcast that focused exclusively on the upcoming animated film.

The sequel to the 2023 hit film The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this latest chapter will send Mario to the distant reaches of the cosmos. Along the way, he discovers a new princess and a formidable new rival in Bowser Jr., the heir to Bowser's throne.

A Cosmic Adventure Based on Iconic Releases

Much like the Wii console classics that act as its source material, Mario will depart from the cozy environment of the Mushroom Kingdom to explore outer space. Throughout his extensive trek, he will encounter once more some recognizable characters, for instance the Luma, a popular character from the original cinematic release.

However, it seems Mario and his brother Luigi will confront a new threat in the form of Bowser's angry little boy, who seemingly wields metal-based powers. Worth mentioning, the teaser for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not only concentrated on Galaxy-inspired imagery; it also contains hints to additional popular titles like Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.

All-Star Vocal Ensemble Come Back and Grow

The film will welcome back of the original voice cast, including 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.

Fresh faces in the lineup for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are Brie Larson, who will portray Rosalina, and Benny Safdie, set to embody Bowser Jr. The casting was verified by Chris Meledandri, the chief executive of Illumination.

Mario's Major Moment

The upcoming Mario film is set to release near the four-decade milestone of the initial Super Mario Bros. release. In addition to the movie, 2026 is shaping up to be a major period for Mario and his friends.

Nintendo has three new games publicly declared for that 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.

Premiere Date Announced

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is scheduled to hit theaters on April 3, 2026.
