The hero of the world’s moviegoers is about to make one more big-budget premiere! Following the huge success of 2023’s “Super Mario Bros. Movie” which had its cash closing at $1.36 billion and became the second-highest grossing film of 2023 (behind the giant “Barbie”), Nintendo is taking him back to the big screens.
In a special announcement conceived in conjunction with the faithful celebration of March 10th (Mario Day), the legendary video game designer, Shigeru Miyamoto, personally used the company’s social media to spread the good news. The sequel is scheduled to open on 3rd April 2026 we will see Illumination back again in a production role.
The trailer has yet to appear, which is understandable since details about the plot are hazy. That said, it is not surprising that Nintendo’s mind has already been set on the cinematic world, which is to say they are going back to the cinematic realm once again. They are justifiably excited about the first movie being a hit in both a critical and commercial approach and want to increase their movie offerings. The fact that they announced that new “Zelda” live-action just last year. Who knows what we will see next unless we are in the realm of Nintendo Universe!
Thus, make the calendar, bring the red cap on, and support Mario in being your favorite again. For the first time in history, the iconic Mushroom Kingdom will break the pattern of being depicted on the silver screen only.
