Super Mario Galaxy Film Trailer Is Here, Unveiling Rosalina and Bowser Jr. Actors

Nintendo and Illumination released the first full-length trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie this Wednesday. The reveal happened in a special Nintendo Direct that centered on the forthcoming animated feature.

Following up on the 2023 hit film The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this new installment will send Mario to the far corners of the universe. Along the way, he discovers a new princess and a powerful new opponent in Bowser Jr., the offspring of the Koopa King.

A Space-Faring Quest Based on Beloved Titles

In the vein of the games from the Wii period that act as its source material, Mario will venture away from the well-known surroundings of the Mushroom Kingdom to journey through the cosmos. During his grand adventure, he will encounter once more some well-known personalities, for instance the Luma, a fan favorite from the first movie.

But it appears Mario and his brother Luigi will battle a different foe in the form of Bowser's furious offspring, who apparently utilizes powers related to metal. Notably, the trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not exclusively centered on Galaxy-themed scenes; it also includes nods to further iconic releases like Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.

Celebrity Voice Actors Returns and Expands

The feature will welcome back of the initial voice actors, 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 bring to life Rosalina, and Benny Safdie, set to represent Bowser Jr. It was announced by Chris Meledandri, the chief executive of Illumination.

A Significant Period for Mario

Mario's latest cinematic adventure is set to release around the time of the four-decade milestone of the initial Super Mario Bros. release. Apart from the cinematic release, 2026 looks set to be a significant year for Mario and his friends.

Nintendo has three new games publicly declared for that year, featuring Mario Tennis Fever, a version for 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.
