NBC Universal Accidentally Reveals Super Mario Bros Movie Sequel Title

NBCUniversal accidentally revealed the title of the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie as Super Mario World before quickly removing it from a press release. The sequel is scheduled for an April 3, 2026 theatrical release and will likely expand on the Mario universe by introducing new and familiar characters, including Yoshi, who was teased in the first film's post-credits scene. The title references the iconic 1990 SNES game Super Mario World, which introduced Yoshi and added new gameplay elements, making fans excited about the potential plot set in Dinosaur Land. The first Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) was a massive box office success, grossing over $1.36 billion worldwide, prompting Nintendo to increase its entertainment projects, including a planned live-action Legend of Zelda film. Cast members have hinted that the sequel will broaden the story's scope and include both popular and deeper-cut characters from the Mario franchise. This accidental reveal highlights anticipation for the sequel and its promise to build on the original's success and lore.
