Nintendo and Illumination have announced a second movie ‘based on the world of Super Mario Bros.,’ due for release on April 3, 2026
The Super Mario Bros. Movie will be getting a sequel… of some sort. Nintendo and animation studio Illumination have announced that they’re re-teaming on a second film “based on the world of Super Mario Bros.” to be released on April 3, 2026.
In a note shared on X by the official Nintendo account, Mario creator (and now, movie producer) Shigeru Miyamoto said of the new movie, “We’re thinking about broadening Mario’s world further, and it’ll have a bright and fun story.”
The wording suggests that the film might expand beyond the first movie’s focus on Mario and Luigi and perhaps bring other characters to the fore, but for now, there’s little to go on.
