But will it actually be about Mario?
MARIO x WARIO: The Super Mario Bros 2 – FIRST TRAILER (2024) Universal Pictures Movie
The Super Mario Bros. movie will be getting a sequel… of some sort. Nintendo and animation studio Illumination have announced that they are returning for a second film "based on the world of Super Mario Bros." will be released on April 3, 2026.
In a note shared on X by the official Nintendo account, Mario creator (and now film producer) Shigeru Miyamoto said of the new film, “We're thinking of expanding Mario's world even further, and it will have a bright and fun story .”
The wording suggests that the film may expand beyond the first film's focus on Mario and Luigi and perhaps bring other characters to the fore, but for now there's little to go on. Little, that is, except for Super Mario Bros. The movie's post-credits scene, which strongly hinted that Yoshi would play a major role in the sequel.
