Wahoo! After an underwhelming Nintendo Direct earlier this month, Nintendo is hoping to turn some frowns upside down with a gallery of new character posters for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/a>! The upcoming animated sequel, releasing April 1, 2026<\/strong>, features a brand-new adventure, exciting new characters, wondrous locations, Easter eggs, and more.<\/p>\n

Yoshi takes center stage<\/p>\n

One of the franchise\u2019s beloved characters, coming to Universal and Illumination\u2019s animated universe, Yoshi<\/a>, appears on one of the new posters, with Baby Mario and Baby Luigi riding atop his back. The poster depicts the trio running for their lives from a Tyrannosaurus Rex along a bridge made of bones. While Baby Mario and Baby Luigi look as if they\u2019re having the time of their lives, Yoshi appears determined to whisk them away to safety before the T. Rex can swallow them whole.<\/p>\n

Rosalina shines like the stars<\/p>\n

Another new character to the animated Mario movies is Rosalina, voiced by Brie Larson. Rosalina is the adoptive mother of the Lumas, a fictional species of star-like creatures, and also the watcher of the cosmos. Think of Rosalina as The Watcher from Marvel, but with a lot more personality and willingness to get her hands dirty. Rosalina\u2019s poster features her character floating inside a library, her wand at the ready, while Lumas swirl around her.<\/p>\n

The gang\u2019s all here!<\/p>\n

Other characters included in the new batch of posters feature Mario, who\u2019s executing his spin attack while soaring above the Mushroom Kingdom. Luigi, who\u2019s losing control of a dirt bike while exploring a desert area. Princess Peach, who looks primed for adventure while standing alongside Toad, residents from Delfino Island, Star Bunnies, and Penguins. Bowser, who\u2019s dual-wielding battle axes while navigating a crumbling bridge. And finally, Bowser Jr., who appears possessed by a magic paintbrush while hoping to rescue his father from incarceration.<\/p>\n

The sequel will feature the return of Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek. Two new notable characters of the Mario universe will be joining the new game adaptation \u2014 Bowser Jr. and Princess Rosalina. Brie Larson will voice Rosalina, and the sequel will have\u00a0Uncut Gems\u00a0and\u00a0The Smashing Machine\u00a0director, Benny Safdie, providing the voice of Bowser Jr. This is a curious pick, as the Safdie brother is getting more and more acting gigs, and this will be his first big brush with voice-acting.<\/p>\n
