Nintendo, Illumination and Universal have unveiled the first trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, with Brie Larson joining the voice cast in a key new role. The trailer dropped on Wednesday during a Nintendo Direct livestream.
Larson, who makes her debut in the Mario universe, is reportedly voicing Rosalina — the cosmic guardian introduced in the 2007 video game Super Mario Galaxy, on which the film is based.
The sequel picks up after 2023’s billion-dollar hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie, opening with Mario and Luigi taunting a pint-sized Bowser, who remains shrunken after swallowing a Mini Mushroom in the first film. After a comical standoff involving Bowser’s failed romantic gesture toward Princess Peach, Mario and Peach spot shooting stars streaking across the sky — setting off a galaxy-hopping adventure.
The trailer teases visually stunning new worlds, including a planet made entirely of water and a desert world with upside-down pyramids borrowed from Super Mario Odyssey (2017).
Returning voice actors include Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Charlie Day as Luigi.
Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, with a screenplay by Matthew Fogel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie continues Illumination’s partnership with Nintendo following the record-breaking success of its predecessor, which grossed $1.3 billion worldwide and ranks among the top five highest-grossing animated films of all time.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is set to hit theaters in 2026.
