The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is one of the most-anticipated sequels on the upcoming 2026 movie slate, as well as one of the most financially viable upcoming video game adaptations. I'm thrilled to see how Illumination will adapt the acclaimed outer space Nintendo Wii games. and am one of many fans already excited to see characters like Princess Rosalina on the big screen. Thanks to a recent leak, it looks like fan-favorite apple chomper Yoshi will indeed be in the mix for the first time.
Yoshi's impending arrival isn't a complete surprise or anything, as the The Super Mario Bros. Movie's post-credit scene showed the dinosaur's egg hatching. It would have been ridiculous to show that without a bulbous-nosed payoff in the next one. Now, thanks to a leaked Pillsbury cookie box promoting the upcoming movie, we have our first idea of what Yoshi will look like, and I'm loving this subtle change.
