In the run-up to the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the response has already proven to be exceptionally divisive. Critics have panned the sequel, many pointing to its prioritizing of fan service over storytelling, while early general audiences have applauded it as fun and for Nintendo-lovers. It's clear that different people are looking for different things from the new 2026 movie, but I am thinking there is common ground to be mined. Specifically, I think we can all agree that Fox McCloud, long rumored to be in the movie and voiced by Glen Powell, is the best thing about the film. Putting him front and center in the immediate future of the Nintendo franchise would be the best possible decision.
