The Super Mario Galaxy Movie picks up where the first one left off, with a teeny tiny Bowser!

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be released in April 2026, and the final trailer and bits of casting news have just dropped.

Singer and Lion King star Donald Glover has been announced as the voice of Yoshi, joining Chris Pratt, Jack Black and Captain Marvel's Brie Larson as the voices of the movie.

The first Super Mario Bros Movie smashed box office records when it was released in 2023, and has made more than $1.3 billion (almost £1 billion) worldwide.

So what is the new movie all about? Take a look below to find out more...

Let's get celestial! Princess Peach and Mario are heading into space

After helping to save the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser in the last movie, this time around Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad will be heading into space.

Recent trailers also showed three fan-favourite characters - Rosalina, Bowser Jr and Yoshi - joining the new movie.

Rosalina will be voiced by Brie Larson (who played Captain Marvel) and Bowser Jr. by Benny Safdie.

Bowser Jr will be the main villain for the movie, as he sets out to rescue his dad (Jack Black), who is being held captive by Mario and Luigi, after he ate a shrinking mushroom at the end of the first movie.

The loveable green dinosaur Yoshi will also be joining the gang in the new movie, and will be voiced by singer and actor Donald Glover - who voiced Simba in the live action Lion King movie.

Fans of the video games might also have spotted some references and easter eggs in the trailers.

The first one is a shot of Mario and Luigi riding motorbikes in a desert with an upside down pyramid in the distance. Fans think this might be the Sand Kingdom from the Super Mario Odyssey game.

Next, Princess Peach can be seen fighting lots of Ninjis in a neon casino area, which could be a nod to Ninji Jump Party in Super Mario Bros Wonder, and the Sirena Beach Casino in Super Mario Sunshine.

Later in the trailer, Bowser Jr seems to take on a mysterious dark, goopy appearance, waving a magic paintbrush, which could be a reference to his special Wonder mode in Super Mario Bros Wonder.

Finally we see Rosalina battling a giant robot called the Megaleg - which will be familiar to fans of the Super Mario Galaxy game - using her space magic.
