\n\tGlen Powell<\/a> is confirmed to voice the role of Fox McCloud<\/a> in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/a>, Universal\u2019s follow-up to 2023 box office smash The Super Mario Bros. Movie, out April 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tPowell made the announcement in a post to Instagram on Friday, captioned \u201cBorn to Barrel Roll,\u201d which you can view below.<\/p>\n

\n\tOriginating in Nintendo<\/a>\u2018s Star Fox video games, McCloud is an elite pilot known for leading the mercenary team Star Fox who has also appeared across the broader Nintendo ecosystem, including in the Super Smash Bros. series. He\u2019s just one new character being introduced in the sequel, with an A-lister voicing, others being Princess Rosalina (Brie Larson), Yoshi (Donald Glover), and Bowser Jr. (Benny Safdie).<\/p>\n

\n\tProduced by Illumination<\/a> and Nintendo, based on the latter\u2019s games, as was the first film, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is expected to be one of this year\u2019s biggest releases, given the outsized success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide to become the third-highest-grossing animated film of all time, behind only Disney\u2019s Frozen films.<\/p>\n

\n\tReturning voice cast in the sequel includes 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. While the first film saw Brooklyn plumber brothers Mario and Luigi transported through a mysterious pipe to a magical new world, the new film will find them exploring cosmic worlds and tackling galactic challenges far from the familiar Mushroom Kingdom.<\/p>\n

\n\tAaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic returned to direct from a script by Matthew Fogel, with Universal and Nintendo co-financing and the former set to distribute the film worldwide.<\/p>\n

\n\tMost recently setting up crocodile horror-thriller spec The Death Roll <\/a>at Lionsgate with his Barnstorm set to produce, as we first reported, Powell\u2019s banner is currently prepping its first feature, a Universal film to be directed by Judd Apatow and star Powell, based on a script they wrote together. Most recently seen leading The Running Man (Paramount) and How to Make a Killing (A24), Powell\u2019s upcoming acting slate also includes J.J. Abrams\u2019 The Great Beyond and Chad Powers Season 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Glen Powell is confirmed to voice the role of Fox McCloud in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Universal\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":685900,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[28],"tags":[49595,171,287962,112679,49596,53,394,178449,67,132,184,68],"class_list":["post-685899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-animation","tag-entertainment","tag-fox-mccloud","tag-glen-powell","tag-illumination","tag-movies","tag-nintendo","tag-the-super-mario-galaxy-movie","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-universal-pictures","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116302110152430976","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=685899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
