The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Preview Arrives, Revealing Rosalina and Bowser Jr. Voice Cast

Nintendo alongside Illumination shared the debut comprehensive teaser for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie midweek. This occurred during a Nintendo-focused broadcast that highlighted the forthcoming animated feature.

Following up on the 2023 blockbuster The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this new installment will send Mario to the outer limits of the cosmos. In his journey, he meets a fresh princess character and a powerful new opponent in Bowser Jr., the son of the King of the Koopas.

A Space-Faring Quest Inspired by Beloved Titles

Much like the Wii console classics that act as its source material, Mario will venture away from the well-known surroundings of the Mushroom Kingdom to explore outer space. During his grand adventure, he will reunite with some recognizable characters, for instance the Luma, a fan favorite from the first movie.

Yet it looks like Mario and his brother Luigi will confront a new threat in the form of Bowser's angry little boy, who apparently commands metallic abilities. Worth mentioning, the preview for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not solely focused on Galaxy-themed scenes; it also features references to other beloved games like Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.

All-Star Vocal Ensemble Returns and Expands

The movie will see the return of the primary vocal talent, 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. This was confirmed by Chris Meledandri, the chief executive of Illumination.

A Significant Period for Mario

Mario's latest cinematic adventure is set to release close to the 40th anniversary of the first Super Mario Bros. title. In addition to the movie, 2026 promises to be a important time for Mario and his companions.

Nintendo has a trio of new releases officially announced for that year, including Mario Tennis Fever, a version for Switch 2 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.
