The movie was a major box office success in 2023, earning over a billion dollars in theaters – second only to Barbie. And now, almost three years later, it’s also proving to be incredibly popular on streaming platforms!
The movie first appeared on Prime Video earlier this year, but it’s now gaining even more popularity on Netflix. As of December 18, 2025, it’s actually the most-watched movie on the platform, surpassing even the popular animated film, KPop Demon Hunters!
What was The Super Mario Bros. Movie about?
Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, and written by Matthew Fogel, the movie features Chris Pratt and Charlie Day as Mario and Luigi, two Brooklyn plumbers who find themselves transported to another world. Mario lands in the vibrant Mushroom Kingdom, ruled by Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), while Luigi is taken to the dangerous Dark Lands and captured by Bowser (Jack Black).
Bowser is determined to marry Princess Peach, so Mario embarks on an incredible journey to rescue her. Ultimately, the adventure leads back to Brooklyn, where Mario and Luigi defeat Bowser and become heroes in both their hometown and the Mushroom Kingdom.
What are the plans for the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel?
The recent popularity of The Super Mario Bros. Movie on streaming services is likely connected to the excitement surrounding a follow-up film.
The sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie is coming out in April of next year. The original film’s directors, writer, and most of the actors are returning for the new movie.
The sequel will also feature some exciting new cast members! Brie Larson, the Academy Award-winning actress known for her roles in Marvel movies, will play Rosalina, and Benny Salfie, a director and actor, will join the cast as Bowser Jr.
Okay, so good news for anyone wanting to watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie – it’s now available on Netflix everywhere, and on Prime Video if you’re in the US! And get this – they’re already planning The Super Mario Galaxy Movie for theaters on April 3, 2026! I’m marking my calendar now!
