Super Mario Bros. will be given a theatrical sequel, but you’ll have to wait until 2026

$1.3 billion: This is how much the Super Mario Bros. movie brought in at the box office in 2023. The second one was so successful that we didn’t have to wait long for it to become unpirated and subsequently released on X (Twitter). Therefore, the preparation of a sequel was an open secret. Finally, it was Mario’s creator himself who made it official at X on Sunday, March 10th.

“We are working on a new animated movie about the world of Super Mario Bros.” Nintendo’s account reveals Shigeru Miyamoto. “It will arrive in theaters in the United States and many parts of the world on April 3, 2026, and in other regions in April. » An appointment is made.

Super Mario Bros. the Movie 2 will arrive in theaters on April 6, 2026

We should not expect more sensitivity from Nintendo, which, as usual, is very secretive about the project. However, we know that the company once again applied to Illumination studios to produce the film. Shigeru Miyamoto will once again oversee the teams to ensure consistency in his universe. We also don’t know anything about the story or cast of this new movie yet, but we can expect the return of Chris Pratt, Jack Black, and their entire crew in the dub.

Therefore, you will have to be very patient to learn more about the movie. Note that Nintendo specifically goes after fans who post theories about the first episode before its release. Considering its massive success, we think Big N will see things big once again. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more about this.
