The official title of the follow-up to Universal's groundbreaking "Super Mario Bros. Movie" has just been revealed: "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie."  On April 3, 2026, Universal and Illumination are scheduled to release it in theaters.

The animated movie takes its title from Nintendo’s hit video game, “Super Mario Galaxy,” released in 2007 on the Wii. The news was announced Friday during a Nintendo Direct, ahead of the 40th anniversary of the original “Super Mario Bros.” video game on Sept. 13, 1985. The Nintendo Direct started off with a teaser for the sequel, which showed Mario sleeping under a tree with Princess Peach’s castle in the distance as the camera panned up to space. There were quick glimpses of a Monty Mole burrowing underground, Cheep Cheeps swimming in a stream and Toads scurrying around the castle.
