The new animated adventure from the Super Mario franchise — The Super Mario Galaxy Movie — has officially moved its release date to April 1, 2026 in the US and many other regions, earlier than originally announced for April 3. The film is a sequel to the successful The Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023, which became one of the highest-grossing video game adaptations of all time.
The latest trailer reveals the first real look at Yoshi in the film, which has particularly excited fans; the green dinosaur is encountered by Mario and Luigi during their intergalactic adventure, and his role appears to be significant in the new story.
The film reunites the cast from the original animated hit — including Chris Pratt as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, and Jack Black as Bowser — along with new characters and planetary environments inspired by the Super Mario Galaxy video game.
The film is expected to offer a broader, cosmic story in which Mario and friends travel through different galaxies facing new challenges and enemies, and it is one of the biggest film premieres of 2026 for video game and animated film enthusiasts.
