TLDR: Seven new posters for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie have been released, spotlighting the franchise’s beloved heroes and introducing exciting new additions ahead of the Apr 2026 release.

The character posters feature Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Princess Peach, Toad, Rosalina, Bowser Jr., and Yoshi (joined by Baby Mario and Baby Luigi), with numerous Easter eggs hinting at other iconic Nintendo characters.

Major New Additions to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

The biggest newcomers are Rosalina, Bowser Jr., and Yoshi—the latter of whom could easily carry his own spinoff film if Illumination and Nintendo choose that direction. For now, Chris Pratt’s Mario remains the focus.

Chris Pratt on Playing Mario

Discussing his casting, Pratt acknowledged the passionate fanbase: “There’s a passionate fan base, and I’m one of the fans. I get it. Mostly, people don’t want something like this to get screwed up. They’re precious about it. They’re careful. And I’m grateful for that.”

The actor, who played Super Mario Bros. “for hundreds of hours” as a kid, added: “Nothing really compares to it in terms of my relationship to the brand. I care just as much as everyone else to make sure that doesn’t get screwed up.”

Sky-High Global Box Office Expectations

The gamble paid off—the first film (The Super Mario Bros. Movie, 2023) was both a critical and commercial hit, earning over USD1.3 billion worldwide.

Industry experts predict this sequel will rank among 2026’s biggest releases.

Production Details

Produced by Chris Meledandri (Illumination) and Shigeru Miyamoto (Nintendo), the film is directed by returning filmmakers Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, with Matthew Fogel penning the screenplay and Brian Tyler composing the score.
