In a recent interview, Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is in the final stages of development. The film will release in the United States on April 3, 2026 in theaters in the US.
Miyamoto said the following about the upcoming film: “The Super Mario Bros. Movie was possible because so many people took action and worked together. As a producer, I tried to make sure the team functioned smoothly. Many of the people involved said they’d like to work on the next project as well, so I guess that means we succeeded to some extent?
The setting for the next movie is, just as the title says, the galaxy — that’s all I can really say. We’re in the final stages of production now, but I think it’s going to be fun. I usually just say, ‘I’ll keep working on it until it becomes fun,’ so that alone should tell you how confident I am.”
Recently, Nintendo released Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Nintendo Switch on October 2. We reviewed the game and rated it a 4.5/5. We described it as an experience which “brings two of Nintendo’s most beloved 3D platformers to Nintendo Switch with meaningful updates. These re-releases enhance the originals with sharper textures, 4K support, smoother performance, and a few quality-of-life additions. Overall, this is the definitive way to experience these two inventive and magical 3D platformers.”
Lastly, the Super Mario Galaxy Movie will premiere on April 3 in the US. The movie will premiere on April 24, 2026 in Japan, three weeks after the US premiere.
