Nintendo has announced the next installment in its record-breaking franchise: ‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.’ The sequel follows 2023’s ‘Super Mario Bros. Movie,’ which became the highest-grossing video game adaptation in history, earning US$1.36 billion worldwide.
The company revealed the title and teaser poster ahead of a new Nintendo Direct scheduled for November 12, where the first full-length trailer will debut. Fans flooded social media after the announcement, sending the teaser post viral with nearly a million views within hours.
While most of the original cast, including Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor Joy, and Jack Black, is expected to return, reports suggest the sequel will feature an expanded ensemble and revisit one of the franchise’s most iconic storylines.
