Nintendo and Illumination announced during a Jan. 25 Nintendo Direct presentation that "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" will now premiere on April 1, 2026, in the United States, moving up from its original April 3 release date.
The new release date applies to the US and many other major markets worldwide, including the United Kingdom and Europe. The film's Japanese release remains scheduled for April 24, 2026, with some territories receiving the movie throughout April. The date change means fans will be able to watch the highly anticipated animated sequel two days earlier than expected.
