Nintendo Just Got Real About What’s Going On With Super Mario Bros. Movie 2, And Shigeru Miyamoto Even Weighed In: ‘First Of All…’

There’s no denying that The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a blockbuster sensation, with fans eagerly demanding more as soon as it hit theaters. We do know that a sequel is in production, but beyond that, details about The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 remain scarce. Illumination and Nintendo have shared some information about the project, and Shigeru Miyamoto‘s recent comments definitely piqued my interest.

At Nintendo’s 2025 Shareholders’ gathering, discussions included the prospect of a new Mario movie. Present at the event was Chris Meledandri, head of Illumination Animation studio, who shared that they are actively developing a follow-up film with the goal of appealing to an even broader audience than the initial release, as reported by GamesRadar.

At present, we’re putting in a lot of effort into developing the upcoming game. Our primary goal is to produce a title that will delight our long-time fans, while also appealing to those who are yet to explore the realm of Super Mario and Nintendo.

A rather challenging ambition for the next installment of The Super Mario Bros. Movie could be to attract viewers who haven’t previously been interested in Mario and Nintendo, given that the initial movie grossed an impressive $1.3 billion globally at the box office. It seems quite astonishing that there might still be people who didn’t catch the first film, considering its wide reach.

Absolutely, Nintendo has broadened its product appeal significantly in recent times. The initial film played a significant role in this expansion, but the recent debut of Epic Universe at Universal Orlando Resort, featuring Super Nintendo World, has arguably been the most impactful element. This new attraction is likely introducing Nintendo to many people for the first time, who may then become interested in the upcoming movie.

Indeed, there’s still a buzz of curiosity among fans as to what exactly the upcoming “Super Mario Bros. Movie” will entail. So far, no details have been revealed, but Shigeru Miyamoto, who is affectionately known as Mario’s father, is tantalizing fans with hints about the storyline.

We have a good idea of how the new Super Mario movie will turn out to be an interesting one.

We don’t have much concrete information about the upcoming movie yet. Keegan-Michael Key, who voices Toad, has hinted that the sequel will be more expansive, which aligns with rumors suggesting the title might be Super Mario World. The only clue we got from the original film was a post-credits scene featuring a Yoshi egg, implying that Mario’s dinosaur companion may reappear in the next installment.

Looking ahead, we’re anticipating that by April 2026, we’ll finally have some formal updates on the upcoming sequel to the “Mario Bros.” movie. It might not be too far off until we catch a glimpse in the form of a trailer, possibly even before the year ends.
