Mario's Galactic Adventure Trailer Arrives, Revealing New Characters Rosalina & Bowser Jr. Voice Cast

Nintendo alongside Illumination unveiled the initial complete preview for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie midweek. This occurred during a special Nintendo Direct that centered on the forthcoming animated feature.

Following up on the successful 2023 release The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this new installment will transport Mario to the outer limits of the galaxy. Along the way, he discovers a fresh princess character and a powerful new opponent in Bowser Jr., the son of the King of the Koopas.

A Space-Faring Quest Inspired by Iconic Releases

Similar to the games from the Wii period that provide its foundation, Mario will leave behind the well-known surroundings of the Mushroom Kingdom to journey through the cosmos. On his epic voyage, he will meet again some recognizable characters, for instance the Luma, a fan favorite from the previous film.

But it appears Mario and his brother Luigi will face a fresh enemy in the form of Bowser's angry little boy, who reportedly wields metal-based powers. Worth mentioning, the teaser for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not exclusively centered on Galaxy-inspired imagery; it also includes nods to other beloved games like Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.

Star-Studded Voice Cast Come Back and Grow

The movie will see the return of the primary vocal talent, with Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek.

Joining the cast for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are Brie Larson, who will voice Rosalina, and Benny Safdie, set to represent Bowser Jr. The casting was verified by the CEO of Illumination, Chris Meledandri.

A Big Year for Mario

The upcoming Mario film is scheduled to arrive near the four-decade milestone of the initial Super Mario Bros. release. In addition to the movie, 2026 looks set to be a important time for Mario and his friends.

Nintendo has a trio of new releases already confirmed for that year, including Mario Tennis Fever, a Switch 2 edition of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and a fresh Yoshi side-scroller titled Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.

Release Date Confirmed

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is planned for launch on April 3, 2026.
