After making hand over white-gloved fist with $1.36B worldwide, Nintendo and Illumination’s Super Mario Bros. movie is returning for a sequel in 2026, and dream casting for the film’s villain is already running rampant online. Jack Black stars in The Super Mario Bros. Movie as Bowser. However, the finale of the money-printing 2023 animated film finds the King of the Koopas in a Kandor situation. It’s almost a guarantee Bowser will pop up in the sequel, but what if another villain takes center stage? What about the gaseous anti-hero Wario? Danny DeVito says he’s ready to walk a mile with his Troll Foot in Wario’s green boots for the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel, and fans are losing their minds at the idea.
Speaking with The Movie Dweeb, DeVito said he’d “take them [Nintendo] to the cleaners,” but he “should play Wario.” While the dream of...

After the mega-success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it’s no secret that Nintendo and Illumination are looking to maximize their partnership by adapting more classic Nintendo video game properties for the silver screen. To celebrate Mario Day, which was March 10th (get it? Mar10?), Shigeru Miyamoto, the character’s creator, and Illumination head Chris Meledandri, officially announced another film set in that universe, with an April 3rd, 2026 release date.

Closer to the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie last year notorious scooper Daniel Richtman, who has a solid track record for sharing information that often pans out, said Nintendo and Illumination were working on various titles. In the original post linked to Richtman’s Patreon, he mentioned the team behind Mario was hard at work on adaptations of The Legend of Zelda,...

The word "iconic" gets used a lot, but if there's one character who deserves to be called that, it's Mario. The little mustachioed guy revolutionized gaming (and plumbing) forever. He has defended kingdoms against countless threats, saved princesses, and even fought off gorillas. He hasn't done all that much actual plumbing, but he has been a racer, a doctor, a golfer, a superhero, and even an elephant.
After the huge, incredible, and not entirely surprising box office success of "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" — not the Bob Hoskins one, the Chris Pratt one — it was inevitable that we would get more of the Mario brothers. After all, if Mario can have almost as many careers as Barbie, why not add "movie star" to the list?
While we wait to return to Mushroom Kingdom and witness Bowser's latest attempt at getting Princess Peach to marry him for some reason, let's...
