Nintendo and Illumination will partner on Super Mario Bros. movie sequel

Nintendo and Illumination announced they will make a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, due to arrive as a theatrical release set for April 3, 2026, in the U.S. and overseas.

It’s no surprise they’re going in that direction, as the 2023 film set records for a game adaptation by generating $1.36 billion in box office revenue worldwide. Nintendo also said it spurred more sales of Nintendo games and had a global audience of at least 168 million. Happy Mario Day!
