The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Teaser Debuts, Revealing Rosalina and Bowser Jr. Voice Cast
The collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination shared the first full-length trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on Wednesday. It was showcased in a Nintendo-focused broadcast that focused exclusively on the upcoming animated film.
The sequel to the successful 2023 release The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this latest chapter will propel Mario to the outer limits of the galaxy. In his journey, he meets a new princess and a formidable new rival in Bowser Jr., the heir to Bowser's throne.
A Cosmic Adventure Drawing from Iconic Releases
In the vein of the games from the Wii period that serve as its inspiration, Mario will venture away from the familiar comforts of the Mushroom Kingdom to travel across the galaxy. Throughout his extensive trek, he will meet again some well-known personalities, including the Luma, a popular character from the previous film.
But it appears Mario and his brother Luigi will face a fresh enemy in the form of Bowser's furious offspring, who reportedly wields metal-based powers. Notably, the preview for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not exclusively centered on visuals from the Galaxy games; it also features references to other beloved games like Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.
Celebrity Voice Actors Reprise Roles and Welcome Newcomers
The feature will see the return of the primary vocal talent, including Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek.
Joining the cast for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are Brie Larson, who will voice Rosalina, and Benny Safdie, set to represent Bowser Jr. The casting was verified by Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri.
