Universal's records and the upcoming Nintendo Direct could confirm that the sequel will be called Super Mario Galaxy 3
Today's Nintendo Direct promises to be the longest in history, and it could coincide with the official announcement of the movie. The presentation could also celebrate the 40th anniversary of the saga and reveal never-before-seen details of the story.
For months, there was speculation that the sequel would adopt the title Super Mario World. NBCUniversal even mentioned it briefly before removing any trace, which sparked rumors about a possible trial balloon or diversion tactic.
If the final title is Super Mario Galaxy, the movie could take Mario on an interplanetary adventure, traveling from planet to planet and facing Bowser while rescuing Peach. Characters from the video game such as Rosalina and the Lumas could join the cast, expanding the animated universe.
The premiere is expected next year, and although it remains to be confirmed whether the change is only in name or also in theme, anticipation is enormous.
Universal Pictures and Nintendo are laying the groundwork for a sequel that promises to revolutionize the big screen. Recent reports suggest that the movie could be called Super Mario Galaxy, a clear reference to the 2007 video game.
The leak coincides with the imminent Nintendo Direct, where they could confirm the name and celebrate the 40th anniversary of the saga. Mario's return to the cinema seems closer than ever.
Illumination is leading the sequel after the success of Super Mario Bros.: The Movie in 2023. Their strategy has always been to keep the project secret, but now two domains registered by NBCUniversal suggest the title Super Mario Galaxy.
Both redirect to the official Universal Pictures websites in Spanish and French, a signal too specific to ignore.
