Nintendo and Illumination unveil upcoming Super Mario Bros. film

Nintendo and Illumination have forged an exciting partnership to deliver the highly anticipated news that they are embarking on the creation of a brand new animated film set in the beloved world of Super Mario Bros. This announcement, made by none other than Nintendo’s legendary creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination’s founder Chris Meledandri, came in a celebratory video released in honor of Mario Day. In this eagerly awaited revelation, it was disclosed that the film is scheduled to hit theaters worldwide on April 3, 2026.

While specifics regarding the plot and characters are still under wraps, Meledandri did hint at some key details. Notably, he revealed that Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, the talented duo behind Teen Titans Go!, will be returning to the director’s chair, while Matthew Fogel will once again be entrusted with crafting the screenplay. Miyamoto chimed in, expressing the team’s excitement about expanding Mario’s world and promising fans a thrilling cinematic experience.

In terms of production logistics, the project is set to be co-financed by Universal Pictures and Nintendo, with Universal handling the global theatrical distribution. This collaboration between two entertainment powerhouses ensures that the film will receive the resources and support needed to reach audiences far and wide.

Reflecting on the success of its predecessor, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which grossed an impressive $1.36 billion at the worldwide box office, expectations are understandably high for this new installment. The previous film delved into the origin story of Mario (voiced by Chris Pratt) and his younger brother Luigi (voiced by Charlie Day), portraying their journey from humble Brooklyn plumbers to heroic adventurers in the Mushroom Kingdom. The star-studded cast, which included the likes of Jack Black, Seth Rogen, and Anya Taylor-Joy, added to the film’s allure and helped cement its status as a blockbuster hit.

As fans eagerly await further updates on this exciting project, they are encouraged to share their thoughts and excitement on social media channels using the handle @FlickeringMyth. With the creative minds at Nintendo and Illumination at the helm, the future looks bright for Mario and his friends as they prepare to embark on yet another unforgettable cinematic adventure.
