Given how huge of a box office smash hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie was, it's hardly a surprise that a follow-up film was given the green light.
The creator of the beloved video game series Shigeru Miyamoto revealed last March that a new movie is in the works, but interestingly it wasn't described as a direct sequel. Instead, Miyamoto said that the next chapter would "broaden Mario's world further", although that still implies that our beloved hero will be front and center.
