Nintendo have given us the first glimpse at the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie with a poster showcasing Mario, who is surrounded by Toad's looking up at Peach's castle which adorns the top of a very Mario-esque rounded hill off in the distance.

The Untitled Mario film which is releasing in April 2023 is currently in the works by Illumination who were noticeably responsible for the Despicable Me movies.

This comes alongside an announcement for an upcoming Nintendo Direct that will be focusing on the The Super Mario Bros. Movie and is scheduled for this Thursday - 1:05 p.m. PT / 20:05 GMT.

Tune in at 1:05 p.m. PT on 10/6 for a #NintendoDirect: The Super Mario Bros. Movie presentation introducing the world premiere trailer for the upcoming film (no game information will be featured).

Nintendo Direct: The Super Mario Bros. Movie

 

[LainaGabranth]

It's gonna be shit.

 

[BlazeMasterBM]

Time to see Bowser twerk and Luigi say "Awkward..."

 

[CMDreamer]

It's gonna be shit.

As long as it's not a mixture of animation and people, it should be a good one.

 

[Lostbhoy]

Ah i just poted the direct link in a new thread as I hadn't seen this!

 

[CeeDee]

Oh my god, it looks like Mario? Whoda thunk.

 

[Xzi]

Them's some high resolution overalls.

 

[RedoLane]

I guess the designers won't bother making unique toad designs like they had in the old Mario RPG games.

My god.. if they want money then make odyssey 2..

Are you under the false impression that Nintendo's game developers are the people working on this movie?

 

[osaka35]

it'll be a nice, safe, standard story. nothing especially good or noteable, but not overly offensive. a "eh, it was fine" movie. it won't be a wreck-it-ralph, but it also won't be a pixels.

I'll watch its last week in theaters and then never again lol.

 

[supergamer368]

The toads actually look fine, but why does mario look like he's in a mascot suit? i'm hoping this movie tries to do some unique stuff, but knowing nintendo it'll probably be a very safe traditional mario story.... featuring chris pratt

 

[osaka35]

is it weird that mario has no butt? or just weird i noticed? you'd think with all his butt-stomps he'd have some thiccc thompers.

 

[NumberXIIIEdwin]

This… actually looks pretty good. At least from a design standpoint. Looking at the full picture, there’s a bunch of small Easter eggs sprinkled in that I can appreciate. Don’t have high hopes for the actual movie, but it’ll at least be nice to look at.

 

[BlazeMasterBM]

is it weird that mario has no butt? or just weird i noticed?

knowing Illumination, there will be a butt scene

 

[trepp0]

Boycott until Charles martinet

 

[osaka35]

knowing Illumination, there will be a butt scene

they're totally going to twerk.
..though if they "do the mario", I'll be an oddly satisfied biped.

It's being made by Disney?

Poor Mario has the DGS.
