The movie Super Mario Bros.: The Movie 3 has not been officially announced yet, but projections suggest it could be released in 2029, based on the release pattern of its predecessors.
The success of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is expected to have one of the biggest openings of the year, raises expectations that a third installment will be confirmed soon.
Some specific details
Although there is no trailer available or concrete information about its production, it is speculated that iconic characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, and Bowser will reprise their roles. In addition, the inclusion of new characters like Rosalina, Yoshi, Bowser Jr., and Daisy is anticipated.
The introduction of Princess Daisy in the post-credits scene of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie suggests that Sarasaland could be the next setting in the story, opening the door to new adventures in the Mario universe.
Recent rumors indicate that Illumination, the studio behind the movies, may be considering spin-offs of Donkey Kong or Star Fox, reflecting an intention to expand its cinematic universe based on Nintendo franchises. Some speculate that these films could be creating a narrative that eventually leads to a Super Smash Bros. movie, although there is currently no clear evidence to support this theory.
As discussions about the future of movies continue, Mario fans are eager to see how this film saga will unfold. With a combination of familiar characters and new additions, the third chapter promises to further expand the beloved universe for both video game and movie fans alike.
