At TGA 2025,
Nintendo shared a short teaser for
Super Mario Galaxy: The Movie. The clip shows Mario and Luigi in a fresh clash with Bowser. The tone feels bold and fast, with space-themed scenes that hint at the Galaxy game roots.
While the
teaser is brief, it clearly focuses on scale and motion. The worlds look wide, bright, and full of risk. Fans who saw the first film will spot the same style, but with a larger sense of space and travel.
The film is set for an April 2026 debut. It will open in the United States and Europe on April 3. Japan will see a later date, while other areas will follow after. A date for China has not yet been set. The first film had a shared launch, so this gap may shift plans for some fans.
Team and cast
The film is led by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic. Both also led the last Mario film, which helps keep a steady tone and look. Their return hints that the new film will stay close to what worked before, while still adding new ideas from the Galaxy games.
The voice cast keeps most key roles. Chris Pratt is back as Mario, with Charlie Day as Luigi. Jack Black again plays Bowser, who takes center stage in the teaser. Anya Taylor Joy returns as Peach, while Keegan Michael Key voices Toad.
New faces join as well. Brie Larson joins as Rosalina, a key Galaxy role with deep lore ties. Ben Safdie takes on Bowser Jr, which may add a new layer to the core clash. Danny DeVito joins as Wario, a role that may bring more humor and edge to the mix.
What to expect
The Galaxy name sets high hopes. The games are known for wild space paths, odd worlds, and fresh play rules. If the film follows this lead, fans may see more travel, more risk, and less time in one place.
The teaser hints at this with fast cuts and wide views.
Still, much is not shown yet. There is no clear plot, and key roles stay in the shadows. The firm seems set on a slow reveal path, using short clips to build talk.
For now, the teaser works as a signal. It tells fans that the next Mario film aims bigger than before. If the film can blend fun, pace, and Galaxy scale, April 2026 may mark a key step for game films on the big screen.
