Another animated Nintendo film is in the works; set to release in 2028

While reception surrounding the recently-released Super Mario Galaxy Movie may have been less-than-stellar, the sequel film developed by Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment is an undeniable hit – currently sitting as the highest grossing film of the year with over $830 million and counting. As such, it comes as little surprise that a 3rd film seems to have been greenlit, with an untitled Nintendo/Illumination project set to arrive in 2028.

As discovered by ResetEra user ‘ContractHolder’ Universal Pictures International Spain recently published a chart breaking down all of the distributor’s upcoming releases.

Though details so far are light, one of the projects listed is said to be an “untitled Illumination/Nintendo Event Film” with a release date currently scheduled for the 12th of April 2028.

Whether this will be a direct sequel to the Super Mario Galaxy Movie or not is currently unknown, especially with the second film introducing a wider variety of Nintendo characters.

Regardless, unless the film in question winds up being an obscure Pikmin movie or something similar, expect whatever Nintendo has planned to once again easily make a Billion at the box office.
