In a new post, actor Glen Powell announced that he will portray Fox McCloud in the upcoming The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The film will premiere in theaters on April 1.
Glen Powell has previously acted in projects such as Chad Powers, Hit Man, The Running Man, Twisters, and Anyone But You. Most notably, he played one of the major characters in Top Gun: Maverick. Illumination confirmed the inclusion of Fox in the upcoming film with a recent poster.
He joins the rest of the movie’s cast, which includes mainstays such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Rosalina, Toad, Yoshi, and Bowser Jr. Additionally, the film will feature R.O.B. and the Pikmin. The inclusion of both has lead people to speculate that a Super Smash Bros. film is on the horizon. Only time will tell if other Nintendo characters, such as Kirby or Captain Falcon, will also make an appearance.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will release in theaters on April 1. Tickets for the film are now live. The most recent trailer revealed that Luis Guzmán (Wednesday, Punch Drunk Love) will voice Wart and Issa Rae (Barbie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) voices the Honey Queen. Most notably, Donald Glover (Solo: A Star Wars Story, Atlanta, Community) voices Yoshi.
Brie Larson, the Academy Award winning actress from Room and Captain Marvel, will voice Rosalina. Benny Safdie, director of The Smashing Machine and Uncut Gems, who has also acted in Oppenheimer and Obi-Wan Kenobi, will voice Bowser Jr, who dons his Super Mario Bros. Wonder design. The film will feature elements from both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Odyssey, and will reference other projects from the Mario franchise.
