Nintendo celebrated "Mario Day" Sunday by finally announcing a sequel to 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie,' out April 2026

On Mario Day, Nintendo and Illumination finally and officially announce follow-up to box office record-breaking film Meledandri added that The Super Mario Bros. Movie co-directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic would return for the sequel, and that they and their team of animators were “busy at work storyboarding scenes and developing set designs for new environments.” “We start animation soon, and rest assured we’ll be obsessing over every detail to get it just right,” Meledandri said.

Movie was inevitable; the film even teased the next one with a post-credits scene featuring a Yoshi egg.
