Super Mario Galaxy Film Teaser Debuts, Revealing Rosalina and Bowser Jr. Actors
Nintendo and Illumination unveiled the debut comprehensive teaser for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on Wednesday. The reveal happened in a special Nintendo Direct that focused exclusively on the upcoming animated film.
The follow-up to the 2023 hit film The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this latest chapter will transport Mario to the distant reaches of the galaxy. In his journey, he meets a new princess and a powerful new opponent in Bowser Jr., the son of the King of the Koopas.
An Interstellar Journey Based on Classic Games
Much like the Wii-era games that act as its source material, Mario will leave behind the familiar comforts of the Mushroom Kingdom to journey through the cosmos. On his epic voyage, he will encounter once more some familiar faces, including the Luma, a popular character from the first movie.
But it appears Mario and his brother Luigi will confront a new threat in the form of Bowser's irate young son, who seemingly wields metal-based powers. Interestingly, the preview for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not only concentrated on Galaxy-themed scenes; it also contains hints to other beloved games like Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.
Celebrity Voice Actors Reprise Roles and Welcome Newcomers
The movie will feature once again of the original voice cast, including 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.
New additions to the ensemble for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are Brie Larson, who will bring to life Rosalina, and Benny Safdie, set to play Bowser Jr. It was announced by Chris Meledandri, the chief executive of Illumination.
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. Beyond the film, 2026 promises to be a important time for Mario and his allies.
