Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary creator of Super Mario, has thanked fans for their enthusiasm and support for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy movie. The film, which is currently in development, was announced as part of a collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination.
In a statement released on April 26, 2026, Miyamoto said, 'I am deeply grateful to all the fans who have shown such excitement for the Super Mario Galaxy movie. Your passion inspires us to create something truly special.' The movie is expected to follow the events of the 2007 video game, where Mario travels through space to rescue Princess Peach.
While specific details about the cast and release date have not been confirmed, the project is part of Nintendo's broader strategy to expand its intellectual properties into film. The success of the 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie, which grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide, has paved the way for this sequel.
Fans can expect more updates as production progresses. Miyamoto's message underscores the importance of fan support in bringing beloved video game stories to the big screen.
