As you can see in the announcement tweet, we’ve also got a new poster packed for the movie, showing off a bit of animation style, and possibly a hint at some of the locations we’ll see in the new Illumination movie.
In it, we see a frog town (including a toad who wears a backpack similar to Captain Todd), some famous hills of the Mario series in suddenly more epic form, some Mario Galaxy’s floating islands, and of course Peach Castle on top of it all. There are, of course, many little references too – my favorite is the “Antiques” shop which seems to be selling items we haven’t seen in a Mario game for quite some time.

Super Mario: The Movie was originally announced in 2018, and is produced by Nintendo and Illumination. The film will reappear during Nintendo Direct in September 2021, with Mario Shigeru Miyamoto’s creator announcing the film’s cast.
Chris Pratt will star in the title role (with a different accent), and the cast also includes Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong. It’ll be a while until we see this all-star team take their best shot of famous Nintendo characters, as Illumination and Nintendo have delayed the movie to April 2023.
