Will There Be a Super Mario Bros. 2 Movie?

The success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023 left fans eagerly anticipating a sequel. While many expected the next installment to be titled Super Mario Bros. 2, recent leaks suggest a different direction.

What We Know So Far

NBCUniversal may have accidentally revealed the title of the upcoming sequel as Super Mario World. This suggests that instead of adapting Super Mario Bros. 2, the film might take inspiration from Super Mario World, the fourth game in the franchise. The movie is set for a theatrical release on April 3, 2026.

What This Means for the Story

If the title Super Mario World holds, the sequel could introduce Yoshi, who was teased in the post-credits scene of the first movie. The film is expected to expand Mario’s universe, possibly featuring both popular and lesser-known characters.

Conclusion

While fans may have hoped for Super Mario Bros. 2, the upcoming sequel appears to be taking a broader approach. Until official confirmation arrives, speculation will continue. Stay tuned for updates as Nintendo and Illumination reveal more details!
