Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment have officially released the first trailer for the Super Mario Galaxy movie, confirming several key pieces of information from early rumors: Brie Larson will voice Rosatta, and Benny Safdie will star as Bowser Jr. This animated sequel to 2023's record-breaking "Super Mario Bros. Movie" is scheduled to be released globally on April 3, 2026, and will soon take audiences on an interstellar journey.

The new trailer brilliantly showcases the film’s cosmic background, extending the story of the Mushroom Kingdom into deep space. The beginning of the movie is the same as the masterpiece "Super Mario Galaxy" released by Nintendo on the Wii. In the picture, a mysterious meteor crashes into the Mushroom Kingdom, triggering a series of events that force Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach to embark on a mission across the stars. In order to avenge his father's defeat, Bowser Jr. transformed into the main villain and attempted to drag the galaxy into the abyss of chaos.
The most eye-catching thing about this trailer is that Brie Larson, who has played the role of "Captain Marvel" in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will voice the key role in "Galaxy" - Rosatta, the guardian of the "Longtail Observatory". It is reported that Brie herself is also a super Nintendo fan, and she released a video of unboxing Switch 2 in April this year. The audience also responded enthusiastically to the casting, and her calm and powerful aura in just a few shots of the trailer was widely praised. In addition, Benny Safdie's performance of Bowser Jr. is also full of vitality, and his naughty and unpredictable character perfectly contrasts with the character of Bowser created by Jack Black in the previous film.
The film continues the successful collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment, with previous directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenik co-directing again. Actors who voiced the main characters in the previous game will also return, including "Star-Lord" Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, and Keegan-Michael Key as Tonbio. The sequel will expand to a new planet, introduce interstellar creatures and classic props, and bring them to life through Illumination Entertainment’s distinctive animation features.
